In this paper we discuss the inflationary universe in the context of a Chaplygin gas equation of state within the framework of the effective theory of loop quantum cosmology. Under the slow-roll approximation, we calculate the primordial perturbations for this model. We give the general expressions of the scalar spectral index, its running, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio, etc. For the chaotic inflation with a quadratic potential, using the WMAP 5-year results, we determine the parameters of the Chaplygin inflation model in loop quantum cosmology. The results are consistent with the WMAP observations.

In this paper we investigate the observational signatures of Loop Quantum Cosmology (LQC) in the CMB data. First, we concentrate on the dynamics of LQC and we provide the basic cosmological functions. We then obtain the power spectrum of scalar and tensor perturbations in order to study the performance of LQC against the latest CMB data. We find that LQC provides a robust prediction for the main slow-roll parameters, like the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar fluctuation ratio, which are in excellent agreement within [Formula: see text] with the values recently measured by the Planck collaboration. This result indicates that LQC can be seen as an alternative scenario with respect to that of standard inflation.

Slow Roll Inflation

The slow-roll inflation of scalar–tensor theories (STTs) of gravity in the context of loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is investigated in this paper. After deriving the effective Hamiltonian, we obtain the semiclassical equations of motion for the background variables in both Jordan frame and Einstein frame of STTs. Then we apply these equations in the slow-roll limit and derive the LQC corrections to the scalar spectral index [Formula: see text] and the tensor-to-scalar ratio [Formula: see text] in the two frames of STTs. Finally, we take two special sectors of STTs as specific examples, namely the Starobinsky model and the non-minimally coupled scalar field model (with the coupling function [Formula: see text] and the potential [Formula: see text]). We derive the detailed expressions of the LQC corrections to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in terms of the [Formula: see text]-folding number for these two models in both frames.

The evolutionary pictures for phantom field in loop quantum cosmology are discussed in this paper. Comparing the dynamical behaviors of the phantom field with one of the canonical scalar fields in loop quantum cosmology scenario, we found that the [Formula: see text] phase trajectories are the same, but the [Formula: see text] phase-spaces are very different, and the phantom field with considering potentials can drive neither super inflation nor slow-roll inflation in loop quantum cosmology (LQC) scenario. While the universe is filled with multiple dark fluids, to ensure that the condition [Formula: see text] does not violate, the energy density of dark matter [Formula: see text] and the equation-of-state of phantom field [Formula: see text] should satisfy the condition [Formula: see text] at the bounce point. If this constraint condition holds, the universe can enter an inflationary stage, and it is possible to unify the description of phantom field, dark matter and inflation. We introduced a toy model which has the same form of the general Chaplygin gas to unify the dark energy, dark matter and slow-roll inflation, and the slow-roll inflation of the toy model has also been discussed.

Big Bang Singularity

In this article, I mainly discuss the dynamics of the pre-inflationary Universe for the potential V ( ϕ ) ∝ ϕ n with n = 5 / 3 in the context of loop quantum cosmology, in which the big bang singularity is resolved by a non-singular quantum bounce. In the case of the kinetic energy-dominated initial conditions of the scalar field at the bounce, the numerical evolution of the Universe can be split up into three regimes: bouncing, transition, and slow-roll inflation. In the bouncing regime, the numerical evolution of the scale factor does not depend on a wide range of initial values, or on the inflationary potentials. I calculate the number of e-folds in the slow-roll regime, by which observationally identified initial conditions are obtained. Additionally, I display the phase portrait for the model under consideration.

This paper is given to the investigation of warm inflation using Modified Chaplygin gas in the background of locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi Identity type I. We find out the field equations and perturbations parameters such as; scalar power spectrum, scalar spectral index, scalar potential and tensor to scalar ratio under slow roll approximation. We find out these parameters in directional of Hubble parameter during the Logamediate inflationary regime in weak and strong case. These comological parameters shows that the anisotropic model is also compatible WMAP$7$ with recent observational data Planck $2018$.

AbstractWe consider the tachyon-brane inflationary universe model in the context of a polytropic gas equation of state. In slow-roll approximation, we discuss general conditions of this model. For exponential potential, in high-energy limit the characteristics of the model are presented. By using the seven-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP7) observational data, we constrain the cosmological parameters of the model.

Assuming that the e-folding number is just determined by the change of the scale factor, the tachyonic inflation theory in loop quantum cosmology (LQC) has been discussed. Considering the tachyon field with exponential potential and inverse quadratic potential, we find that the evolutionary pictures of super inflation are affected by the potentials and the initial conditions. However it cannot provide enough e-folding number, no matter which condition is chosen. Therefore a slow-rolling inflation is necessary. The e-folding number for slow-rolling inflation depends on the values of the parameter α of the exponential potential and the initial conditions. To get enough e-folding number, α should be small. Based on the slow-rolling inflation happens immediately when the super inflation ends, and the scale factor continuously grows during the whole inflation stage, we consider an e-folding number provided by the whole inflationary stage, and we find that it is easier to get enough e-folding number when the scale factor increases during all the inflation phase.

Three Phases

Considering a constant dissipative coefficient [Formula: see text], the pre-inflation dynamical behaviors of warm inflation in the loop quantum cosmology scenario are discussed. We consider three sets of initial conditions. The evolution of the background can always be divided into three phases, namely super-inflation, damping, and slow-roll inflation phases, with the duration of each phase depending on the initial conditions. As an example, we compare the background evolution between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] under special initial conditions and find that there is no slow-roll inflation phase for [Formula: see text] while the number of e-folds is about 60.209 for [Formula: see text].
