String cosmology and inflation [PDF]
Following a suggestion by Gasperini and Veneziano, that String Cosmology can be reconciled with Inflation and, hence, with the Standard Big Bang, we display an analytical solution which possesses four interesting properties: (1) it is non-singular; (2) it distinguishes the dynamics of the external scale factor, $a(t)$, from that of the internal one, $b(

Tachyon field in loop cosmology
The evolutionary pictures of tachyon field in modified loop cosmology have been investigated. We present the dynamical behavior of the tachyon field associated with an exponential potential and find that the pre-inflation dynamics are very similar in ...

Topics in Cosmology—Clearly Explained by Means of Simple Examples
This is a very comprehensible review of some key issues in modern cosmology. Simple mathematical examples and analogies are used, whenever available. The starting point is the well-known Big Bang cosmology (BBC).

We study cosmological inflation and its dynamics in the framework of the Randall–Sundrum II brane model. In particular, we analyze in detail four representative small-field inflationary potentials, namely Natural inflation, Hilltop inflation, Higgs-like ...

Entropic Inflation in Presence of Scalar Field
In spirit of the recently proposed four-parameter generalized entropy of apparent horizon, we investigate inflationary cosmology where the matter field inside of the horizon is dominated by a scalar field with a power law potential (i.e., the form of ϕn ...

New Anisotropic Exact Solution in Multifield Cosmology
In the case of two-scalar field cosmology, and specifically for the Chiral model, we determine an exact solution for the field equations with an anisotropic background space.

Cosmology without inflation [PDF]
We propose a new cosmological paradigm in which our observed expanding phase is originated from an initially large contracting Universe that subsequently experienced a bounce. This category of models, being geodesically complete, is non-singular and horizon-free, and can be made to prevent any relevant scale to ever have been smaller than the Planck ...

How Generic Is Eternal Inflation?
Everlasting inflation has far-reaching implications for cosmology and the standing of self-localizing inferences made by observers, which have been subjects of renewed interest in light of the growing acceptance of theory landscapes and the attendant ...

INFLATION AND STRING COSMOLOGY [PDF]
I will give a brief review of the various versions of inflationary theory, from Starobinsky model to chaotic inflation, and of recent observational data supporting inflationary theory. In the second part of the talk I will discuss the recently proposed ekpyrotic scenario and argue that in its present form it does not provide a viable alternative to ...
