TL;DR
This paper discusses $ ext{alpha}$-attractor cosmological models, highlighting their robust predictions, geometric interpretation via hyperbolic geometry, and the relation between gravitational wave amplitude and the Poincare disk radius.
Contribution
It provides a geometric interpretation of $ ext{alpha}$-attractors using hyperbolic geometry and relates gravitational wave amplitude to the disk radius.
Findings
Predictions $n_s = 1 - 2/N$ and $r = 12 ext{alpha}/N^2$ are robust.
The geometric model uses a Poincare disk with radius $ ext{sqrt}(3 ext{alpha})$.
Gravitational wave amplitude is proportional to the square of the disk radius.
Abstract
The cosmological models called -attractors provide an excellent fit to the latest observational data. Their predictions and are very robust with respect to the modifications of the inflaton potential. An intriguing interpretation of -attractors is based on a geometric moduli space with a boundary: a Poincare disk model of a hyperbolic geometry with the radius , beautifully represented by the Escher's picture Circle Limit IV. In such models, the amplitude of the gravitational waves is proportional to the square of the radius of the Poincare disk.
