What is the asymptotically safe inflation?

Page 23: The trouble with asymptotically Safe Inflation

It is well-known that Einstein gravity involves a dimensionful coupling constant and is not renormalizable. Decades ago Weinberg suggested that the effective quantum theory of gravitation might be asymptotically safe, and hence UV complete. That is, the renormalization group flows might have a fixed point, with a finite-dimensional UV critical surface of trajectories attracted to the fixed point at short distance.

S. Weinberg, 1977

Page 24: The trouble with asymptotically Safe Inflation

Asymptotically safe gravity can be naturally applied to explore the physics in the early universe.

The beauty of asymptotically safe inflation is that it does not need any inflaton field.

S. Weinberg, 2010

If ω=0, we obtain a pure de Sitter solution.

Inflation must end in our universe. We hope that the term with R2 might introduce an instability around dS solution.

instability Re(ξ)>0

ξ+>0 if ω<0. For –κ/ω<<1,

Requiring Nt >60 implies κ<-ω/10.

Page 27: The trouble with asymptotically Safe Inflation

Requiring |δH/H|<<1 implies ε/ξ<<1.

s is asymptotically free.

ω has a stable fixed point at ω*=-0.0228.

Discussion

• The instability can come from the term of R2 as long as ω<0.

• The asymptotically safe inflation can achieve a large number of e-folds if -κ/ω<0.1.

• In this case the asymptotically safe inflation suffers from ghost problem.
