Combining intervals of ekpyrotic (ultra-slow) contraction with a (non-singular) classical bounce naturally leads to a novel cyclic theory of the universe in which the Hubble parameter, energy density and temperature oscillate periodically, but the scale ...

Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Tsallisian Gravity and Cosmology
In this paper, we adopt the Verlinde hypothesis on the origin of gravity as the consequence of the tendency of systems to increase their entropy and employ the Tsallis statistics.

Abstract The fractal dimensions of lava flow margins on Earth often correlate with their flow morphologies and have been used to tentatively identify flow morphology on other rocky planets where fine‐scale observations are limited. Previous studies of lava flow margins on Venus have reported fractal dimensions (D) mostly within the range between 1.05 ...

The Fundamental Roles of the de Sitter Vacuum
We overview the fundamental roles of the de Sitter vacuum in cosmology where it is responsible for powering the early inflationary stage(s) and the present accelerated expansion, in black hole physics where it provides the existence of a wide class of ...

Symmetry analysis in inflationary cosmology [PDF]
We approach the cosmological inflation thought symmetries of differential equations. We consider the general inflaton field in a homogeneous Friedmann--Lema\^ıtre--Robertson--Walker spacetime and with the use of conformal transformations we are able to write the generic algebraic solution for the field equations.

Physical consequences of black holes in non-perturbative quantum gravity and inflationary cosmology [PDF]
In this thesis the consequences of the presence of a Schwarzschild black hole in de Sitter space are studied in the setting of non-perturbative quantum gravity and in inflationary cosmology.

Inhomogeneities from quantum collapse scheme without inflation
In this work, we consider the problem of the emergence of seeds of cosmic structure in the framework of the non-inflationary model proposed by Hollands and Wald.

Higher derivative D-term inflation in new-minimal supergravity
We revisit the D-term inflation and amend it with ghost-free higher derivative couplings of chiral superfields to super-curvature. These couplings realize a more generic inflationary phase in supergravity.

Philosophical Implications of Inflationary Cosmology [PDF]
Recent developments in cosmology indicate that every history having a nonzero probability is realized in infinitely many distinct regions of spacetime.
