Large scale suppression of scalar power on a spatial condensation

Abstract

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 induce a phase transition during the early stage of the inflation and the suppression of scalar power spectrum at large scales. This suppression can be an origin of anomalies for large-scale perturbation modes in the cosmological observation. © 2015 American Physical Society.
