Couplings and spectra in modular inflation

Abstract

We analyze how the spectrum of perturbations produced in a multi-component modular inflation model proposed by Kadota and Stewart depends on couplings between the two moduli. Although some simple direct couplings give essentially the same results as the original model, $dn/d\ln k\propto n-1$, simple indirect couplings produce a power law spectrum, $n-1=\text{constant}$, which can naturally be close to scale invariant.
