abstract

We revisit the stochastic effects in the model of anisotropic inflation containing a $U(1)$ gauge field. We obtain the Langevin equations for the inflaton and gauge fields perturbations and solve them analytically. We show that if the initial value of the electric field is larger than its classical attractor value, then the random stochastic forces associated with the gauge field is balanced by the frictional damping (classical) force and the electric field falls into an equilibrium (stationary) regime. As a result, the classical attractor value of the electric field is replaced by its stationary value. We show that the probability of generating quadrupolar statistical anisotropy consistent with CMB constraints can be significant.

  1. Deviations from Gaussian White Noise in Stochastic Inflation

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Relaxing the sharp cutoff or the Bunch-Davies initial state in stochastic inflation makes the noise colored, and relaxing the initial state also makes it non-Gaussian.

  2. Axion USR Inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In axion inflation with an intermediate ultra-slow-roll phase, the instability parameter collapses at the start of USR, terminating gauge production and yielding a two-peak power spectrum with P_R ∝ k^m, m>4.
