What is Inflation ?
• In physical cosmology, cosmic inflation, cosmological inflation or just inflation is the theorized exponential expansion of the universe at the end of the grand unification epoch, 10-36 seconds after the Big Bang, driven by a negative-pressure vacuum energy density. The term "inflation" is also used to refer to the hypothesis that inflation occurred, to the theory of inflation, or to the inflationary epoch.

Inflation - Mechanisms• As a direct consequence of this expansion, all of the
observable universe originated in a small causally connected region. Inflation answers the classic conundrum of the big bang cosmology: why does the universe appear flat, homogeneous and isotropic in accordance with the cosmological principle when one would expect, on the basis of the physics of the big bang, a highly curved, heterogeneous universe? Inflation also explains the origin of the large-scale structure of the cosmos. Quantum fluctuations in the microscopic inflationary region, magnified to cosmic size, become the seeds for the growth of structure in the universe (see galaxy formation and evolution and structure formation)

Inflation - History
• Inflation was proposed by Alexei Starobinski (1979/80) in the Soviet Union, and simultaneously by Alan Guth (1980/81) in the United States. Guth's mechanism is different from Starobinski's, and requires a modification to allow for a graceful exit from inflation. This modification was provided independently by Andrei Linde, and by Andreas Albrecht and Paul Steinhardt.

Problems in Standard Model
• The Standard Big-Bang Model has many deep problems:
• Flatness Problem: The flatness problem (also known as the oldness problem) is an observational problem associated with a FRW model.
• Causality Problem: The causlaity or horizon problem results from the premise that information cannot travel faster than light.
• Monopole Problem: Grand unification theories predicted topological defects in space that would manifest as magnetic monopoles.
• General Scale Problem: ~ µm is no natural scale

The Horizon Problem
• When we look at the CMB it comes from 46 billion comoving light years away. However when the light was emitted the universe was much younger (300,000 years old). In that time light would have only reached as far as the smaller circles. The two points indicated on the diagram would not have been able to contact each other because their spheres of causality do not overlap.

The Relic Problems• The Gravitino: The gravitino is the supersymmetric
partner of the graviton, as predicted by theories combining general relativity and supersymmetry; i.e. supergravity theories. If it exists it is a fermion of spin 3/2. Thay later, after they decay later, after BBN, would ruin BBN.
• The Monopoles: In physics, a magnetic monopole is a hypothetical particle that is a magnet with only one pole (see Maxwell's equations for more on magnetic poles). In more technical terms, it would have a net "magnetic charge". Modern interest in the concept stems from particle theories, notably Grand Unified Theories and superstring theories, which predict their existence.
• Other topological defects (Strings etc)

These equations can only be solved exactly for a few choices of potential, for example an exponential potential
Ordinarily the equations can then be solved analytically. Conveniently, the condition for inflation to occur is almost precisely the same as that for validity of the slow-roll approximation.
However, usually sufficiently accurate results can be obtained by using the slow-roll approximation.

simultaneously?• Why it is flatflat? Why parallel lines do not intersect?
Why it contains so many particles? Why there are so many people in this auditorium?

Inflation makes the Universe flat, Inflation makes the Universe flat, homogeneous and isotropichomogeneous and isotropic
In this simple model the universe typically grows 1030 times during inflation.
Now we can see just a tiny part of the universe of size ct = 1010 light yrs. That is why the universe looks homogeneous, isotropic, and flat.

The Trans-Planckian “Problem”
• What was the physical size of cosmological scales contributing to the CMB today before inflation?
• This depends on the number of e-folds of inflation. Most models give more than the minimum of 60’ish e-folds.
• Generically, those scales begin at sizes less than the Planck scale! Certainly, we should expect these scales to encompass new physics thresholds.
• Does new physics stretch as well?

Summary• Inflation solves Flatness problem, Horizon
problem & many other aspects: N > 55.• Inflation also provides source for
perturbations on the Friedmann background by means of quantum fluctuations in the very Early Universe Φ ~ 10-5.
• These perturbations are frozen in, once they are stretched by expansion beyond the horizon.
• Power spectrum and spectral index will depend on inflation model.
