Mimetic Curvaton

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the primordial perturbations of inflation model induced from the multi-field mimetic gravity, where there are two field during inflation, and thus both adiabatic and isocurvature perturbation modes are generated. We show that although it is true that the original adiabatic perturbation mode loses the kinetic term due to the constraint equation, by applying the curvaton mechanism where one of the field is viewed as curvaton field, the adiabatic perturbation can actually be transferred from the isocurvature one at the end of inflation. Detailed calculations are performed for both inflationary and the consequent matter-dominant epochs. Therefore, the so-called "non-propagating problem" of the adiabatic mode will actually do no harm to the multi-field mimetic inflation models.
