Tilt and Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio in Multifield Monodromy Inflation
Abstract
We study the possible range of the tilt and the tensor-to-scalar ratio in multifield versions of a class of inflationary models from string theory. We show that is the same between the single field models and multifield models while is bounded above by the results of single field models. Below its maximum value, depends on the specific distributions of parameters in the model. The general trend is that the wider the distributions are, the smaller is. We show that does not have a rigorous lower bound. It is argued, however, that models predicting arbitrarily small only constitute a small portion of the possible ones and for the vast majority of models, is bounded below by predictions given by models with uniformly distributed parameters.
