KUMAR ATMJEET (UNIV. OF DELHI) SUPERVISOR: T. SOURADEEP IUCAA, PUNE (May-July, 2006) STANDARD COSMOLOGY; PROBLEMS AND THEIR SOLUTIONS
CONTENTS • STANDARD MODEL • Assumptions • Geometrical Description • Successes • PROBLEMS WITH THE STANDARD MODEL . Horizon problem • Flatness problem • Inhomogeneity problem • Monopole problem • INFLATIONARY UNIVERSE • Inflation • Chaotic model of inflation • As a solution to cosmological problems • INTRODUCTION TO CMBR • MY WORK
STANDARD MODEL • INTRODUCTION • Assumptions : • homogeneous • isotropic • perfect fluid • hot dense fireball
Friedmann's equations: 2 3 4 5 6
Successes of Standard model • Observed universe is homogenious and isotropic • Expansion follows a linear V-r law (Hubble's Law) • Explains the origin of light elements • Prediction of CMB • Planckian nature of spectrum • Cmb isotropy • Oldest steller system are no older than the inferred age of • universe
PROBLEMS WITH THE STANDARD MODEL • Horizon problem • Flatness problem (fine tunning problem) • Inhomogeneity problem ( large scale structures formation) • Monopole problem Is there any solution to these problems?
INFLATIONARY UNIVERSE • Definition: 7 8 9 10
Horizon problem: Flatness problem

Rolling Slowly • Chaotic model of inflation Vacuum Energy
Inflation field dynamics • single scalar field (Φ) • consists of a self interacting potential V(Φ) • field is initially in a false vacuum state • initial chaos causes the field to roll down towards true vacuum • state
