• Simulation of large scale polarization signal

GW/scalar curvature: current from CMB+LSS: r < 0.47 or < 0.28 95%; good shot at 0.02 95% CL with BB polarization (+- .02 PL2.5+Spider), .01 target; Bpol .001

BUT foregrounds/systematics? But r(k), low Energy inflation

Page 47: Dick Bond

Inflation then summarythe basic 6 parameter model with or without GW fits all of the data OK

Usual GW limits come from adding r with minimal consistency (7 params). r <.28

comes from relating high k region of 8 & LSS to low k region of GW CL

uniform priors in (k) ~ r(k)/16: for current data, (k) goes up at low k & the scalar power downturns (if there is freedom in the mode expansion to do this). Enforces GW.

lnTINY) prior gives lower r.

a B-pol with r<.001 breaks this prior dependence, even Planck+Spider r~.03

Prior probabilities on the inflation trajectories are crucial and cannot be decided at this time. Philosophy: be as wide open and least prejudiced as possible

An ensemble of trajectories arises in many-moduli string models. Roulette

inflation: complex hole sizes in `large 6D volume’ TINY r~10-10 & data-selected

braking to get ns & <<1 (general theorem: if the normalized inflaton < 1

over ~50 e-folds then r < .007). By contrast, for nearly uniform acceleration, (e.g.

power law & PNGB inflaton potentials), r ~.03-.3 but ~10. Is this deadly???

Even with low energy inflation, the prospects are good with Spider and even Planck to either detect the GW-induced B-mode of polarization or set a powerful

upper limit vs. nearly uniform acceleration, pointing to stringy or other exotic models. Both experiments have strong Cdn roles. Bpol is ~ 20x0

Page 48: Dick Bond

• the data cannot determine more than 2 w-parameters (+ csound?). general higher order Chebyshev or spline expansion in 1+w as for “inflation-then” =(1+q) is not that useful. Parameter eigenmodes show what is probed

• The w(a)=w0+wa(1-a) phenomenology requires baroque potentials• Philosophy of HBK07: backtrack from now (z=0) all w-trajectories arising from

quintessence (s >0) and the phantom equivalent (s <0); use a 3-parameter model to well-approximate even rather baroque w-trajectories.

• We ignore constraints on Q-density from photon-decoupling and BBN because further trajectory extrapolation is needed. Can include via a prior on Q (a) at z_dec and z_bbn

• For general slow-to-moderate rolling one needs 2 “dynamical parameters” (as, s) & Q to describe w to a few %

for the not-too-baroque w-trajectories. A 3rd param s, (~ds /dlna) is ill-determined now & in a Planck1yr-CMB+JDEM-SN+DUNE-WL future.

• In the early-exit scenario, the information stored in as is erased by Hubble friction over the observable range & w can be described by a single parameter s.

• as is < 0.3 current data (zs >2.3) to <0.21 (zs >3.7) in Planck1yr-CMB+JDEM-SN+DUNE-WL future

• current observations are well-centered around the cosmological constant s=0.0+-0.25 • in Planck1yr-CMB+JDEM-SN+DUNE-WL future s to +-0.07• but one cannot reconstruct the quintessence potential, just the slope s & hubble drag info• late-inflaton mass is < Planck mass, but not by a lot
