Pre-Big-Bang in String Cosmology [PDF]
We compute the amount of inflation required to solve the horizon problem of cosmology in the pre-big-bang scenario. First we give a quick overview of string cosmology as developed by Veneziano and collaborators.

Reheating in holographic cosmology and connecting to Λ-MSSM constructions for particle physics
In this paper we model the transition from the non-geometric holographic cosmology regime, to the usual radiation dominated (RD) cosmology, known as reheating in the case of (perturbative) inflation.

Reheating via gravitational particle production in simple models of quintessence or $\Lambda$CDM inflation [PDF]
We have tested some simple $\Lambda$CDM (the same test is also valid for quintessence) inflation models, imposing that they match with the recent observational data provided by the BICEP and Planck's team and leading to a reheating temperature, which is ...

Cosmological perturbations without inflation [PDF]
A particularly attractive feature of inflation is that quantum fluctuations inthe inflaton field may have seeded inhomogeneities in the cosmic microwavebackground (CMB) and the formation of large-scale structure. In this paper,we demonstrate that a scalar field with zero active mass, i.e., with anequation of state $\rho+3p=0$, where $\rho$ and $p$ are ...

Inflation in the Rényi cosmology [PDF]
The description of the accelerated phases for the current and primordial cosmos has been obtained in the framework of Rényi cosmology. The results show that corrections to the Friedmann equations, originated from differences between Rényi and Bekenstein entropies, can describe both the current accelerated and inflationary eras.

Inflation with a class of concave inflaton potentials in Randall–Sundrum model
We investigate inflation with a class of concave inflaton potentials of the form $$\sim \phi ^n$$ ∼ϕn ...

Alternatives to cosmological inflation [PDF]
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]
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 ...

MSSM inflation and cosmological attractors [PDF]
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]
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.
