Science with the space-based interferometer LISA. IV: probing inflation with gravitational waves [PDF]
We investigate the potential for the LISA space-based interferometer to detect the stochastic gravitational wave background produced from different mechanisms during inflation.

Affine gravity, a gravity theory based on affine connection with no notion of metric, supports scalar field dynamics only if scalar fields have non-vanishing potential. The non-vanishing vacuum energy ensures that the cosmological constant is non-vanishing. It also ensures that the energy-momentum tensor of vacuum gives the dynamically generated metric

Shaping Inflation Expectations in the Czech Economy: a Case of Financial Analysts and Corporate Managers [PDF]
Inflation expectations play an important role in the transmission mechanism of inflation targeting in the context of the length and costs of the disinflationary process.

Inflation on Fractional Branes: D--Brane Inflation as D--Term Inflation
We describe a D--brane inflation model which consists of two fractional D3 branes separated on a transverse $T^2 \times K3$. Inflation arises due to the resolved orbifold singularity of $K3$ which corresponds to an anomalous D--term on the brane. We show

Modular Inflation Observables and $j$-Inflation Phenomenology [PDF]
Modular inflation is the restriction to two fields of automorphic inflation, a general group based framework for multifield scalar field theories with curved target spaces, which can be parametrized by the comoving curvature perturbation ${\cal R}$ and ...

Preferences over Inflation and Unemployment: Evidence from Surveys of Happiness
Modern macroeconomics textbooks rest upon the assumption of a social welfare function defined on inflation, p, and unemployment, U. However, no formal evidence for the existence of such a function has been presented in the literature. Although an optimal

Towards the theory of reheating after inflation [PDF]
Reheating after inflation occurs due to particle production by the oscillating inflaton field. In this paper we describe the perturbative approach to reheating, and then concentrate on effects beyond the perturbation theory. They are related to the stage

The zoo plot meets the swampland: mutual (in)consistency of single-field inflation, string conjectures, and cosmological data [PDF]
We consider single-field inflation in light of string-motivated ‘swampland’ conjectures suggesting that effective scalar field theories with a consistent UV completion must have field excursion , in combination with a sufficiently steep potential, . Here,

The rs10191329 Risk Allele Is Associated With Pronounced Retinal Layer Atrophy in Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether the rs10191329 risk allele in the DYSF–ZNF638 locus, which is implicated in central nervous system resilience rather than immune‐mediated pathology, is associated with retinal layer thinning, a biomarker of neuroaxonal damage in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods From a prospective observational study,
