Different forms of energy density in inflation

[shinobi20]

From the second Friedmann equation,

$$H^2 = \frac{1}{3M_p^2} \rho \quad (k=0, flat)$$

In warm inflation, radiation is present all the way therefore not requiring proper reheating process, so

$$\rho = \rho_\phi + \rho_r \, ; \quad \rho_\phi = inflaton, \, \rho_r = radiation$$

But, $$\rho = \Big(T + V \Big)$$

What should be the kinetic and potential energy of $\rho_r$ as opposed to $\rho_\phi = \Big(\frac{1}{2} \dot \phi^2 + V \Big)$ (i.e. $V = \frac{1}{2}m^2\phi^2$)?

 

[Mordred]

I'm not quite sure what Your trying to do but if I'm not mistaken
V_(\phi) is your potential

\rho=\frac{1}{2}\dot{\phi}^2+V(\phi)
p=\frac{1}{2}\dot{\phi}^2-V(\phi)

Looks like you dropped the pressure term of M_p

H^2=\frac{8\pi G_n}{3}\rho\rightarrow \frac{\dot{a}}{a}=\sqrt{\frac{8\pi G_nV(\phi)}{3}}

How could $ρ$ suddenly become $V(φ)$ in the last equation? Also, there is no pressure term in the second friedmann equation.

 

[Mordred]

Are you sure about that? I left you a handy link showing the pressure term in one of your other threads.

Start with the equation of state w=p/\rho
Then look at the scalar field modelling equation

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state_(cosmology)

Though the scalar field modelling equation is better explained in the first link. (I was trying to avoid posting the same two links in two different threads as you have 3 that are related.

If you don't want to use the first link the Friedmann fluid equation is the second one on this link.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedmann_equations

Note both pressure and energy density in the second equation. If you include the pressure term all three of your threads can be answered.

As far as the last equation which is under the Newtonian limit there are numerous solutions most involving GR. However chapter 4 here will give you the basics

Andrew Liddle's "Introductory to Cosmology" though has a decent chapter though done a little too Heuristic. Hope that helps I've usually only enough time for one forum and I usually spend that avaliable time on another as they can use my help more so than this excellent forum.

Another excellent textbook for introduction level is Ryder Lewis "Introductory to Cosmology " he has a decent chapter on three different inflation models. Lambda based ie ( the equations of state in the links above where w=-1), k inflation and quintessenece

Thank you for your effort to put together some great resources, but what I don't know what you are talking about is how can
$$H^2 = \frac{8\pi G}{3} \rho$$
have any pressure term. I want to solve for $H$ so I think the second equation is not so useful.

 

[Mordred]

Would it help to know the definition of pressure is force per unit volume?

So \frac {8\pi G_n}{3} gives you your pressure term for your volume. G is your Newtons gravitational constant. We have set the curvature term k=0 which is why I didn't include k.

Also as we are working with a homogeneous and isotropic fluid expansion can be described as a perfect fluid following all the gas law rules of an adiabatic fluid ( adiabatic meaning no net inflow/outflow of energy). We are also applying Newtons shell theorem in the above. As we are working with a homogeneous and isotropic fluid.

As you are working with two time derivitaves you must describe each volume separately the pressure at R and the pressure at \dot {R} in order to derive H^2 or alternately the two time derivitaves of \frac {\dot {a}}{a} as according to the ideal gas laws an increase in volume decreases pressure/density and temperature. So for H you cannot use 1 value for pressure and energy/mass density but the time derivitaves of both at each time derivitave of your commoving volume

So using R for volume my two time derivitaves between two commoving volumes becomes
R =\frac {8\pi G_n}{3}\rho
\dot {R }=\dot {\frac{{8\pi G_n}}{3}}\dot {\rho} where \frac {8\pi G_n}{3} is in essence the force per unit volume of time derivitave R

H^2=\frac {\dot {R}}{R} you can literally plug the two time derivitaves of pressure and energy/density into the last formula to get H

The same time derivitave rules apply to your scalar field equations in my first reply

\dot {\phi} denotes the potential is a time derivitave and needs to be treated as a time derivitave. The curvature term can be safety assumed as constant between the time derivitaves
Does that help?

Edit ;important side note Do not think of expansion as due to pressure/(force per unit volume) as were dealing with a homogeneous and isotropic fluid there is no net flow of force as there is no pressure gradient at a particular time

There is no pressure term in this equation.

 

[PeterDonis]

Pressure is force per unit area, not volume.

 

[Mordred]

Doh right lol my bad working too late in am

 

[shinobi20]

There is no pressure term in this equation.

That is what I'm wondering about, as Mordred posted.

 

[Mordred]

I should have said derive not give. Did you look at equations 1.1 to 1.3 of the first link yet?
1.1 your Friedmann metric
1.2
H^2=(\frac{\dot{a}}{a})^2=\frac{8\pi G}{3}\rho-\frac{k}{a^2}
1.3
\frac{\ddot{a}}{a}=-\frac{-4\pi G}{3}(\rho+3p)

 

[shinobi20]

1.3
\frac{\ddot{a}}{a}=-\frac{-4\pi G}{3}(\rho+3p)

Yes, I'm using (1.2) and there is no pressure term there.

 

[Mordred]

I take it you missed the sentence above relating those two equations then?

"These are related to the energy density and pressure terms through the Friedmann equations 1.2 and 1.3."

key word AND not one or the other but both

Yes but what is your point? I'm only interested getting $H$, so I can obtain it through $$H^2 = \frac{1}{6M_p^2}(\dot \phi^2 + m^2\phi^2)$$

 

[Mordred]

what does the subscript p stand for on M?

 

[shinobi20]

what does the subscript p stand for on M?

$M_p$ stands for the reduced Planck mass.

 

[Mordred]

$M_p$ stands for the reduced Planck mass.

$M_p$ stands for the reduced Planck mass.

right and your reduced Planck mass formula is?
m_p=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar c}{8\pi G}}

 

[shinobi20]

right and your reduced Planck mass formula is?
m_p=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar c}{8\pi G}}

Yes, and $\hbar = c = 1$.

 

[Mordred]

Yes, and $\hbar = c = 1$.

and in your OP you want your temperature right ? ie\rho=T+V right?

How do you solve the temperature without knowing the pressure?

Particularly since your starting with the scalar field equations

 

[shinobi20]

and in your OP you want your temperature right ? ie\rho=T+V right?

How do you solve the temperature without knowing the pressure?

The kinetic $T$ and potential energy $V$ of the radiation density; but aside from that I have one more question, the equation of motion of inflation is
$$\frac{d^2\phi}{dt^2} + 3H\frac{d\phi}{dt} + V,_\phi = 0$$

where $ϕ$ is the inflaton, $H$ is the Hubble parameter, and $V,_ϕ$ is the derivative of the potential with respect to $ϕ$. To solve this differential equations, we need two initial value conditions, $\phi(0)\,$ and $\dot \phi(0)\,$. I'm using Mathematica to solve for $\phi$, and in order to solve the above DE we need to eliminate the unknown function $H$ and from the Friedmann equations, $$H^2 = \frac{1}{3M_p^2}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\dot \phi^2 + V\Big)$$

For a potential given by $V = \frac{1}{2}m^2\phi^2$, we have
$$\ddot \phi^2 + 3\sqrt{\frac{1}{6M_p^2}\Big(\dot \phi^2 + \phi^2\Big)} \dot \phi + m^2\phi = 0$$

I can set $\phi(0) \approx M_p$ and $\dot \phi(0) \approx 0.1$ (any small value just to get started).
But in order to get an exact numerical value for $\phi(t)$ after solving this DE numerically, I need to set some $t$. But I'm not sure about what $t$'s to set during the inflationary stage, or in other words, I want to know the proper $t$ to use during the evolution of $\phi$?

 

[Mordred]

I'm not quite sure what Your trying to do

lol glad I stated previously the above in your OP. I misread the T for temp not kinetic energy.

I'm not sure what the appropriate values for t on your time derivatives are most appropriate in this case. Bapowell will probably best answer that

 

[shinobi20]

When you solve a DE with $t$ as the independent variable, you need to state at what $t$ you want to solve for the dependent variable right? It's just the same case with what I'm doing, here the dependent variable is $\phi$.

 

[Mordred]

I'm still looking for your t question. There is a section that applies in the first link I supplied see chapter 2.with regards to the rates involved in inflation in terms from the potentials. I can't quite remember this so have to dig deeper than the article I just mentioned.

I'm not sure if $t$ should be the Hubble time which during inflation, the Hubble parameter is fairly constant or $t$ should be the time period for inflation.

 

[Mordred]

Ok found what I was looking for. In essence acceleration occurs when the potential energy of the field dominates over the its kinetic term. Inflation stops when the kinetic term has grown to become comparable to the potential energy. You have those equations already. I found you a good lecture from arxiv to cover all the details you need.

Yes, that is the standard scenario for inflation. I'm thinking about the $t$ I need fro the DE.

 

[Mordred]

Yes, that is the standard scenario for inflation. I'm thinking about the $t$ I need fro the DE.

Usually the overdot denotes t_now not sure if this is the case in inflation actually I'm fairly sure it is t_now for the overdot as its observer based. ie your the observer. Hopefully Bapowell will clarify though I can't see it not being t_now.

Though I could always reread his dissertation lol

 

[bapowell]

Mordred, there is no pressure term in the first FE. I think you're really confusing the op.

 

[Mordred]

I already stated I was the one confused.
