Large Scale Suppression of Scalar Power on a Spatial Condensation (1411.2705v2)

Abstract: Suppression of the scalar power spectrum on large scales is one way to reconcile the tension between Planck and BICEP2 data. This suppression can occur by introducing a phase transition from the fast-roll phase to the slow-roll phase in a single field inflation model. In this paper we consider a deformed single field inflation model in terms of three SO(3) symmetric moduli fields. We find that spatially linear solutions for the moduli fields induces a phase transition during the early stage of the inflation and the suppression of scalar power spectrum at large scale perturbation modes.
