Background mode selection during asymptotic-de Sitter inflation

Abstract

For the first time, we choose non-flat vacuum mode for background spacetime based on the minimum number of created particles during early non-de Sitter inflation. In conventional methods for calculating the number of created particles, the flat background is selected automatically and causes a negative number problem for created particles during asymptotic-de Sitter inflation. In a covariant approach to curved spacetime, both real and background spacetimes should be selected, curved and consequently the relation for particle creation should be modify. As an interesting finding from this research, flat space does not include minimum number of particles and there are some asymptotic de Sitter spacetimes with fewer number. Therefore, in the generalized formula for particle creation, we choose a non-flat background containing the minimum number of created particles.
