Higher order spectra from an initially anisotropic universe
arXiv:1205.5600 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.85.103526
Abstract
In this paper, we present the higher order spectra of a scalar field produced through the higher derivative interactions in the initially anisotropic universe. Although we ignore the backreaction of the scalar field on the geometry, our analysis should have much overlap with the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field in the anisotropic universe. We also include the planar modes whose momenta are along the plane which is perpendicular to the primordial preferred direction, for which effects of the initial anisotropy are not suppressed. The presence of a negative frequency mode produces features distinguishable from the case of the de Sitter inflation. We also show that richer features appear in the trispectra due to the primordial anisotropy.
