We review an inflationary scenario with the anisotropic expansion rate. An anisotropic inflationary universe can be realized by a vector field coupled with an inflaton, which can be regarded as a counter example to the cosmic no-hair conjecture. We show generality of anisotropic inflation and derive a universal property. We formulate cosmological perturbation theory in anisotropic inflation. Using the formalism, we show anisotropic inflation gives rise to the statistical anisotropy in primordial fluctuations. We also explain a method to test anisotropic inflation using the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB).

  3. Power-law Bianchi type I inflation with multiple vector fields

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0

    Exact power-law Bianchi type I inflationary solutions are found for one scalar field coupled to up to three vector fields, with stability governed by the relative sizes of the gauge-coupling exponents.
