Eternal Hilltop Inflation [PDF]
, 2016 We consider eternal inflation in hilltop-type inflation models, favored by current data, in which the scalar field in inflation rolls off of a local maximum of the potential. Unlike chaotic or plateau-type inflation models, in hilltop inflation the region of field space which supports eternal inflation is finite, and the expansion rate $H_{EI}$ during ...

Towards a cosmological dual to inflation
Physical Review D, 2011 We derive all single-field cosmologies with unit sound speed that generate scale invariant curvature perturbations on a dynamical attractor background. We identify three distinct phases: slow-roll inflation; a slowly contracting adiabatic ekpyrotic phase, described by a rapidly-varying equation of state; and a novel adiabatic ekpyrotic phase on a ...

Tachyonic inflation in loop quantum cosmology
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019 A tachyon field might be responsible for cosmological inflation at an early time and contribute to cosmological dark matter at a later time. We investigate tachyonic inflation by analyzing a tachyon field with different potentials in the framework of ...

Inflation and String Cosmology
, 2005 After 25 years of its existence, inflationary theory gradually becomes the standard cosmological paradigm. However, we still do not know which of the many versions of inflationary cosmology will be favored by the future observational data.

Starobinsky-Like Inflation and Running Vacuum in the Context of Supergravity
Universe, 2016 We describe the primeval inflationary phase of the early Universe within a quantum field theoretical (QFT) framework that can be viewed as the effective action of vacuum decay in the early times. Interestingly enough, the model accounts for the “graceful

Inflationary Cosmology and Quantization Ambiguities in Semi-Classical Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
, 2004 In loop quantum gravity, modifications to the geometrical density cause a self-interacting scalar field to accelerate away from a minimum of its potential.

The generality of inflation in closed cosmological models with some quintessence potentials [PDF]
Phys.Rev. D67 (2003) 103518, 2003 We have investigated the generality of inflation (the probability of inflation in other words) in closed FRW models for a wide class of quintessence potentials. It is shown that inflation is not suppressed for most of them and for a wide enough range of their parameters.

Cosmological Dynamics of Interacting Dark Energy and Dark Matter in f(Q)$f(Q)$ Gravity
Fortschritte der Physik, EarlyView.Abstract In this work, the behavior of interacting dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM) within a model of f(Q)$f(Q)$ gravity is explored, employing the standard framework of dynamical system analysis. The power‐law f(Q)$f(Q)$ model is considered, incorporating two different forms of interacting DE and DM: 3αHρm$3\alpha H\rho _m$ and α3HρmρDE$\frac ...

Phenomenological Inflationary Model in Supersymmetric Quantum Cosmology
Universe, 2022 We consider the effective evolution of a phenomenological model from FLRW supersymmetric quantum cosmology with a scalar field. The scalar field acts as a clock and inflaton.

The warm inflationary universe
, 2008 In the past decade, the importance of dissipation and fluctuation to inflationary dynamics has been realized and has led to a new picture of inflation called warm inflation.
