  2. 7o resolution

  3. WMAP3 CMB sky map

  4. Low quadrupole WMAP1 WMAP3

  5. northern hemisphere southern hemisphere full sky Eriksen et al 04 Park 04 South-North Power Asymmetry Eriksen et al 04 North pole (80o,57o)

  6. “Axis of Evil” Land & Magueijo 05 l=2, quadrupole l=3, octopole

  7. Foreground problem??

  8. Size of a casually connected region (horizon -- distance travelled by light in 400,000 yrs) is about 1o now q At last scattering surface, 400,000 yrs after big-bang l = 180 degrees/ q • 7o angular scale • Each 7opixel contains many 1o regions • Measuring super-horizon temperature fluctuations • So smooth (1 in 105)!! Why?? • Primordial density fluctuations that seed large scale structures COBE DMR MAP

  9. Inflation and Primordial Density Fluctuations

  10. WMAP3 and chaotic inflation r : tenor/scalar m ～ 1013 GeV

  11. roughness of H inflation starts here Inflation and Primordial Density Fluctuations periodic universe, more…..

  12. H

  13. Slow-roll kinematics Quantum fluctuations A Challenge to Standard Slow-roll inflation!? • Chaotic inflation – classical fluctuations driven by a white noise (Starobinsky) or by a colored noise (Liguori, Matarrese et al.) coming from high-k inflaton • Driven by a colored noise from interacting quantum environment (Wu et al) • Others • Slow-roll conditions violated after horizon crossing (Leach et al) • General slow-roll condition (Steward) |n-1|~|dn/dlnk| • Multi-field (Vernizzi, Tent, Rigopoulos, Yokoyama et al) • etc

  14. Our Inflaton-Scalar Interacting Model (Wu et al 07) Single-field inflation〈σ〉= 0

  15. Dissipation Noise imaginary part real part Colored, dependent on history Trace out sigma field to obtain : Feynman & Vernon 1963 Influence Functional Method semi-classical

  16. Start of inflation

  17. Dominant passive fluctuations and low CMB quadrupole assuming no active de Sitter quantum fluctuations

  18. Relative large three-point functions ns Dissipation? Conclusion I • We propose a new dynamical source for density perturbation: Colored Quantum Noise - give alow CMB quadrupole • Can be applied to trapped inflation (Green et al. 09) • Working on running spectral index and non-Gaussianity, both are natural with colored noise

  19. A black hole in inflation Cho, Ng, Wang 09 M - black hole mass H - Hubble parameter Schwarzschild-de Sitter Static ------> Planar

  20. Inflaton fluctuations Expansion parameter where the source term

  21. Solutions Zero order First order

  22. Power spectrum de Sitter quantum fluctuations End of inflation  → 0

  23. Inflation early universe present universe Possible effects to CMB anisotropy e.g. black holes formed via thermal fluctuations Chen, Gruber, Ng, Scardigli 10 Carroll, Tseng, & Wise 08 preferred point, line, or plane

  24. Conclusion II • Hints from WMAP data on beyond standard slow-roll inflation !? • A fine tuning – physics just at 60 e-foldings • Maybe there is a window to see the first few e-foldings of inflation !? • From homogeneous to directional effects • Or we are all fooled by probability – it is indeed a Gaussian quantum process • Nongaussianity is an important check

  25. Speculations • Is it possible not to fine tune inflation duration to 60 efolds? • Then there must be something happening during slow-roll inflation • Formation rate must not be far below the expansion rate of inflation

  26. String Landscape • 10500 de Sitter vacua • Metastable, bubble nucleation via tunneling • Barriers of string scale, slow tunneling rate • The spacetime is a hierachy of de Sitter vacuum bubbles • Most part in eternal inflation • Some regions tunnel down to flat potential for slow-roll infaltion • We sit in a vacuum with a small cosmological constant today

  27. slow-roll inflation in a de Sitter vauum Will these bubbles collapse into black holes? Efficient and rapid tunneling Tye, Shiu,… Λ2 Λ1

  28. Motion of the bubble wall surface tension bubble radius
