Brane-World Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the “brane”) embedded in a 1+3+d-dimensional spacetime (the “bulk”), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

Novel vacuum conditions in inflationary collapse models

open access: yesPhysics 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

Singularities in Inflationary Cosmological Models

open access: yesUniverse, 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

Topics in Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We first delve into particle phenomenology with a study of soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), an effective theory for Quantum Chromodynamics for when all particles are approximately on their light-cones. In particular, we study the matching of SCET(

Natural Chain Inflation

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2022
In Chain Inflation the universe tunnels along a series of false vacua of ever-decreasing energy. The main goal of this paper is to embed Chain Inflation in high energy fundamental physics.

Towards geometric inflation: The cubic case

open access: yesPhysics 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 ...

Constant-roll inflation in brane induced gravity cosmology

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
In this article we study a constant-roll inflationary model in the context of the DGP brane-world cosmology caused by a quintessence scalar field. We determine an analytical solution for the Friedman equation coupled to the equation of motion of the ...

Instability of axion inflation in the regime of strong backreaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
openIn axion-U(1) inflation models, in the limit of strong coupling between the inflaton and the gauge field, one helicity mode of the gauge field undergoes exponential enhancement.

A new mechanism for freezing extra dimensions with higher-order curvature terms

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2020
We construct a model of higher dimensional cosmology in which extra dimensions are frozen by virtue of the cubic-order Lovelock gravity throughout the cosmic history from inflation to the present with radiation and matter-dominated regimes in between.
