Singularities in Inflationary Cosmological Models
Universe, 2021 Due to the accelerated expansion of the universe, the possibilities for the formation of singularities has changed from the classical Big Bang and Big Crunch singularities to include a number of new scenarios. In recent papers it has been shown that such

Stringy Effects During Inflation and Reheating [PDF]
, 2005 We consider inflationary cosmology in the context of string compactifications with multiple throats. In scenarios where the warping differs significantly between throats, string and Kaluza-Klein physics can generate potentially observable corrections to ...

Alternatives to cosmological inflation [PDF]
Physics Today, 2008 Inflationary cosmology is elegant and can claim significant predictive successes. But its attendant difficulties have motivated competing scenarios that also agree with observation.

Semiclassical Cosmological Perturbations Generated During Inflation [PDF]
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2000 Environment interaction may induce stochastic semiclassical dynamics in open quantum systems. In the gravitational context, stress-energy fluctuations of quantum matter fields give rise to a stochastic behaviour in the spacetime geometry. Einstein-Langevin equation is a suitable tool to take these effects into account when addressing the back-reaction ...

Inflationary universe in loop quantum cosmology [PDF]
, 2007 Loop quantum cosmology provides a nice solution of avoiding the big bang singularity through a big bounce mechanism in the high energy region. In loop quantum cosmology an inflationary universe is emergent after the big bounce, no matter what matter ...

MSSM inflation and cosmological attractors [PDF]
International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2018 Inflationary scenarios motivated by the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) where five scalar fields are non-minimally coupled to gravity are considered. The potential of the model and the function of non-minimal coupling are polynomials of two Higgs doublet convolutions.

Inflation and precision cosmology [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2004 A brief review of inflation is presented. After having demonstrated the generality of the inflationary mechanism, the emphasize is put on its simplest realization, namely the single field slow-roll inflationary scenario. Then, it is shown how, concretely, one can calculate the predictions of a given model of inflation.

Novel vacuum conditions in inflationary collapse models
Physics Letters B, 2017 Within the framework of inflationary models that incorporate a spontaneous reduction of the wave function for the emergence of the seeds of cosmic structure, we study the effects on the primordial scalar power spectrum by choosing a novel initial quantum

Towards geometric inflation: The cubic case
Physics Letters B, 2020 We present an up to cubic curvature correction to General Relativity with the following features: (i) its vacuum spectrum solely consists of a graviton, (ii) it possesses well-behaved black hole solutions which coincide with those of Einsteinian cubic ...
