A New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Against Past‐Eternalism

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 145-153, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a new formulation of the “Hilbert's Hotel Argument” (HHA) which is superior to existing formulations because it (1) demonstrates that HH is logically impossible in the concrete world, (2) takes into account the need to consider the assumptions of HHA, and (3) offers a reply to an important objection concerning the validity of

A Hyporeflective Response to the Absurd

Ratio, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 82-89, June 2026.
ABSTRACT If life is absurd in that we cannot help but desire the unattainable, then there is prima facie reason to lament the absurd whenever we are confronted with it. This is an intuitive idea: it is fitting to be disappointed by what is essentially disappointing.

Simple cosmological model with inflation and late times acceleration

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
In the framework of polynomial Palatini cosmology, we investigate a simple cosmological homogeneous and isotropic model with matter in the Einstein frame.

T-model Higgs inflation and metastable cosmic strings

Journal of High Energy Physics
We present the formation of metastable cosmic strings (CSs) in the context of a supersymmetric (SUSY) left-right model. The spontaneous SU(2)R symmetry breaking occurs during a stage of T-model (Higgs) inflation (TI) driven by an SU(2)R triplet ...

Intermediate Inflation or Late Time Acceleration?

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2008
The expansion rate of “intermediate inflation” lies between the exponential and power law expansion but corresponding accelerated expansion does not start at the onset of cosmological evolution.

Why concave rather than convex inflaton potential?

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
The Planck data on cosmic microwave background indicates that the Starobinsky-type model with concave inflation potential is favored over the convex-type chaotic inflation. Is there any reason for that?

On Singularities in Cosmic Inflation

, 2015
In this paper, we examine a flat FLRW spacetime with a scalar field potential and show by applying Osgood's criterion to the Einstein field equations that all such models, irrespective of the particular choice of potential develop finite-time singularities. That is, we show that solutions to the field equations become singular in finite time, which can

Significance of Fabry-Perot Cavities for Space Gravitational Wave Antenna DECIGO

Galaxies
DECIGO is a future Japanese project for the detection of gravitational waves in space. To conduct various scientific missions, including the verification of cosmic inflation through the detection of primordial gravitational waves as the main objective ...
