WMAP 3-year constraints on the inflationary expansion Fabio Finelli INAF/IASF-BO – Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica Cosmica di Bologna INAF/OAB – Osservatorio Astronomico di Bologna also supported by INFN Bologna Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

MOTIVATIONS Inflation is the dominant paradigm. Inflationary predictions survived many observations: nearly flat spatial sections, spectrum of gaussian nearly scale invariant curvature fluctuations are now firm points of our cosmological model. WMAP1 has been able to first detect large scale curvature perturbations (TE) and to constrain inflationary models: excityng times are coming with future CMB and LSS data. Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

OUTLINE 1. Constraints on inflation at first order in HFF Analyze WMAP3 data (plus CMBsmall and LSS data) with different methods of comparing inflationary predictions with observations wtr to WMAP team: 1. Constraints on inflation at first order in HFF 2. Second order in HFF (i.e. including running) 3. Relaxing theoretical priors a. Tensor-to-scalar ratio as a free parameter b.

2dF02 vs SDSS WMAP3+CMBsmall+2dF02 WMAP3+CMBsmall+SDSS 2dF allows more gravitational waves than SDSS (this applies also to subsequent releases -2dF05- and to the case with running) Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

The effect of CMBsmall Is Harrison-Zeldovich (nS = 1,r = 0) inside or not 2? WMAP3+SDSS WMAP3+CMBsmall+SDSS The answer depends on systematics and foregrounds, but also on the inclusion of CMBsmall (ACBAR, VSA, CBI, B03). CMBsmall prefers less power on small scales: not only HZ is disfavoured at 2, but also nS = 1 line. NB: Our results for WMAP3+SDSS fully agree with Kinney et al. 2006, Easther & Peiris 2006. Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

Running of the spectral index <->Second order in HFF In inflationary context both running and tensor need to be included. Running is included both in the scalar and in the tensor spectral index (second order in SR parameters as predicted by Kosowsky & Turner (1995)). By using HFFs it is just needed an extra parameter: ² 3 A self-consistent expression at second order in HFFs is needed also for amplitudes and spectral indices, not just runnings. d ² 2 N ´ 3 ' » V + 6 1 ¡ 8 Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

Conclusions:I First order in HFF Models with an exit from inflation (2 >0) preferred by WMAP3 WMAP3 shows how quartic model and HZ are disfavoured wrt the massive model. With our combination of data also inflationary models with n 1 are around the 2 contours (due to CMBsmall) Still early to decide if more or less tensors wrt to the consistency relation are preferred by data (less tensors are also predicted by non-minimal coupling of the inflaton): very important to predict the tensor-to-scalar ratio, otherwise difficult to constrain the potential. KG is well inside the present constraints. Models predicting a blue spectrum for tensors are equally good fit to the current data as standard inflationary models. Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006

Conclusions:II Runnings of the spectral indices (second order in HFFs) Do not cut out running evidence with priors when using HFFs! Statistical evidence for running increased from WMAPI to WMAPII: it is zero at 2 or beyond. If is not primordial and is due to systematics then these have not been understood yet Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics, Oct. 16, 2006
