Inflation from a tachyon fluid?
Open accessAbstract
Motivated by recent works of Sen [hep-th/0203211, hep-th/0203265] and Gibbons [hep-th/0204008], we study the evolution of a flat and homogeneous universe dominated by tachyon matter. In particular, we analyze the necessary conditions for inflation in the early roll of a single tachyon field. Comparison with string theory reveals that the potential is too steep to explain the fluctuations in the CMBR. We suggest a scenario based on the simultaneous decay of many branes and comment on the issue of reheating of the universe after tachyon rolling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
