The branch‐cut quantum gravity with a self‐coupling inflation scalar field: Dynamical equations
Abstract This article focuses on the implications of the recently developed commutative formulation based on branch‐cutting cosmology, the Wheeler–DeWitt equation, and Hořava–Lifshitz quantum gravity. Assuming a mini‐superspace of variables, we explore the impact of an inflaton‐type scalar field ϕ(t)$$ \phi (t) $$ on the dynamical equations that ...

On Chaplygin Gas Braneworld Inflation with Monomial Potential
We study the Chaplygin gas model as a candidate for inflation in the framework of the Randall‐Sundrum type II braneworld model. We consider the original and generalized Chaplygin gas model in the presence of monomial potential. The inflationary spectrum perturbation parameters are reformulated and evaluated in the high‐energy limit and we found that ...

Ultra-high frequency gravitational waves from scattering, Bremsstrahlung and decay during reheating
We investigate ultra-high frequency gravitational waves (GWs) from gravitons generated during inflationary reheating. Specifically, we study inflaton scattering with its decay product, where the couplings involved in this 2 → 2 scattering are the same as

R-symmetric axion/natural inflation in supergravity via deformed moduli dynamics
We construct a natural inflation model in supergravity where the inflaton is identified with a modulus field possessing a shift symmetry. The superpotential for the inflaton is generated by meson condensation due to strong dynamics with deformed moduli ...

Classical Decay of the Inflaton [PDF]
We present the first fully nonlinear calculation of inflaton decay. We map inflaton decay onto an equivalent classical problem and solve the latter numerically. In the $\ensuremath{\lambda}{\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ model, we find that parametric resonance develops slower and ends at smaller values of fluctuating fields, as compared to estimates ...

Violent Preheating in Inflation with Nonminimal Coupling
We study particle production at the preheating era in inflation models with nonminimal coupling $\xi \phi^2R$ and quartic potential $\lambda \phi^4/4$ for several cases: real scalar inflaton, complex scalar inflaton and Abelian Higgs inflaton.

The Chaotic Regime of D-Term Inflation
We consider D-term inflation for small couplings of the inflaton to matter fields. Standard hybrid inflation then ends at a critical value of the inflaton field that exceeds the Planck mass.

Clockwork inflation with non-minimal coupling
We suggest a clockwork mechanism for a Higgs-like inflation with the non-minimal coupling term $$\xi \phi ^2 R$$ ξϕ2R . The seemingly unnatural ratio of parameters, $$\lambda /\xi ^2 \sim 10^{-10}$$ λ/ξ2∼10-10 of the self quartic coupling of the inflaton,
