On Gravitational Energy in Newtonian Theories
There are well-known problems associated with the idea of (local)
gravitational energy in general relativity. We offer a new perspective on those
problems by comparison with Newtonian gravitation, and particularly geometrized
Newtonian gravitation (i.e., Newton-Cartan theory). We show that there is a
natural candidate for the energy density of a Newtonian gravitational field.
But we observe that this quantity is gauge dependent, and that it cannot be
defined in the geometrized (gauge-free) theory without introducing further
structure. We then address a potential response by showing that there is an
analogue to the Weyl tensor in geometrized Newtonian gravitation.Comment: 30 pages; derived from a paper presented at the 2016 UK/EU

Nongaussianity from Tachyonic Preheating in Hybrid Inflation
In a previous work we showed that large nongaussianities and
nonscale-invariant distortions in the CMB power spectrum can be generated in
hybrid inflation models, due to the contributions of the tachyon (waterfall)
field to the second order curvature perturbation. Here we clarify, correct, and
extend those results. We show that large nongaussianity occurs only when the
tachyon remains light throughout inflation, whereas n=4 contamination to the
spectrum is the dominant effect when the tachyon is heavy. We find constraints
on the parameters of warped-throat brane-antibrane inflation from
nongaussianity. For F-term and D-term inflation models from supergravity, we
obtain nontrivial constraints from the spectral distortion effect. We also
establish that our analysis applies to complex tachyon fields.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures. Comments added to introductio
