14 Dissipation & Viscosity The radiation bath is expected to depart from a perfect fluid due to particle production T μ ν =ρu μ u ν +(P+π b )(u μ u ν +g μ ν )+π μ ν (u σ =fluid flow velocity) Adiabatic pressure p T 4, Bulk vis. π b 3 ζ b μ u μ Shear vis. π μ ν 2 ζ s σ μ ν Light fields: ζ b (T), ζ s (T) T 3 Jeon & Yaffe PRD53 ('96) Shear tends to damp the growth of the radiation fluctuations (before freeze out), and therefore that of the field F[ ζ s 1] 1 P R P R (c=0)f[q] F s [ ζ s ] ζ s = 4 9 ζ s H F[ ζ s >1] 0 ρ r +p r ζ s 1 No growing mode
15 Strong dissipation: λφ 4 potential Ne=60 g*=15/4 g*= ζ s 0 n s >1 Blue tilted spectrum! (dq/dne > 0) ζ s 1 avoids the growing mode, and makes the spectrum red tilted
16 Extra friction Υ(T,φ) (Q=Υ(T,φ)/(3H)): Summary Dissipative effects due to decaying fields can be relevant during inflation, and modify the inflationary predictions slow roll: < (1 + Q), < (1 + Q), < (1 + Q) spectrum: T/H>1, Q<1: P R ( Ḣ ϕ ) 2 ( H 2 π ) 2 ( 2 T H ) Chaotic models: smaller values of the inflationary scale are needed to fit the primordial spectrum smaller tensor to scalar ratio λφ 4 compatible with data!
17 Summary For a T dependent dissipative coefficient, the field and radiation perturbation EOM form a coupled system The radiation backreacts on the field perturbations, and the field fluctuations are amplified before freeze out. The larger the dissipation, the larger the growth 5 c 1 / 2 P R ~P R c =0 1 Q This can be counterbalanced by the dissipative effects within the radiation fluid (shear viscous pressure) P R ~P R c =0 when s 1 (freeze out value, model independent)
