Abstract:
We construct a two-stage inflationary model which can accommodate early inflation at a scale Λ1 as well as a second stage of inflation at Λ2 with a single scalar field ϕ. We use a symmetric potential, valid in a frictionless world, in which the two inflationary periods have exactly the same scale, i.e. Λ1 = Λ2. However, we see today Λ1 ≫ Λ2 due to the friction terms (expansion of the universe and interaction with matter). These type of models can be motivated from supergravity. Inflation occurs close to the maxima of the potential. As a consequence both inflations are necessarily finite. This

Abstract A pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson (such as an axion-like particle) is a theoretically well-motivated inflaton as it features a naturally flat potential (natural inflation). This is because Goldstone's theorem protects its potential from sizable quantum corrections. Such corrections, however, generically generates an R 2 term in the action, which leads to another inflaton candidate because of the equivalence between the R 2 term and a scalar field, the scalaron, with a quasi flat potential (Starobinsky inflation). Here it is investigated a new multifield scenario in which both the scalaro

We propose a novel explanation for universe’s inflationary period. We argue that when the Einstein–Hilbert action is supplemented by an infinite tower of higher-curvature terms — selected order by order by the criterium that they give rise to a well-posed cosmological evolution — the usual Big Bang characteristic of Einstein gravity is replaced by a singularity-free period of exponential growth of the scale factor, which is gracefully connected with standard late-time [Formula: see text]CDM cosmology. No inflaton or any additional fields besides the metric are required.

We show that the parameter space can be broadened, the inflation scale generally can be lowered, and still possible to have the spectral index ns = 0.96.

Abstract We investigate the reheating process in an axion inflation model where the inflaton couples to non-Abelian gauge fields via the Chern-Simons coupling. The Chern-Simons coupling leads to the efficient production of gauge fields via a tachyonic instability during inflation, whose implications have been actively studied in the literatures. Moreover, it has been recently pointed out that the produced gauge fields can be even thermalized during inflation, leading to warm inflation. Apparently, these findings seem to imply that the reheating is completed immediately after inflation because

Abstract:
Abstract We construct a family of simple single-field inflation models consistent with Planck / BICEP Keck bounds which have a parametrically small tensor amplitude and no running of the scalar spectral index. The construction consists of a constant-roll hilltop inflaton potential with the end of inflation left as a free parameter induced by higher-order operators which become dominant late in inflation. This construction directly demonstrates that there is no lower bound on the tensor/scalar ratio for simple single-field inflation models.

Abstract:
Relative purchasing power parity (PPP) holds for pure price inflations, which affect prices of all goods and services by the same proportion, while leaving relative prices unchanged. Pure price inflations also affect nominal returns of all traded financial assets by exactly the same amount. Recognizing that relative PPP may not hold for the official inflation data constructed from commodity price indices because of relative price changes and other frictions that cause prices to be “sticky,” we provide a novel method for extracting a proxy for realized pure price inflation from stock returns.

Abstract We discuss the possibility of unifying dark matter physics and inflation in the Z 5 model of the two-component dark matter. Inflation driven by the two-component dark matter fields can be divided into two cases, singlet dark matter inflation and mixed dark matter inflation, where both two-component play the role of inflaton in the latter case. For dark matter, we focus on the mixed dark matter inflation case. We show a viable parameter space that satisfies the theoretical and dark matter relic density constraint in the case of successful inflation. It turns out that the dark matter de

Abstract In this work we terminate inflation during a phase of Constant Roll by means of a waterfall field coupled to the inflaton and a spectator field. The presence of a spectator field means that inflation does not end at a single point, ϕ e, but instead has some uncertainty resulting in a stochastic end of inflation. We find that even modestly coupled spectator fields can drastically increase the abundance of Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) formed by many orders of magnitude. The power spectrum created by the inflaton can be as little as 10-4 during a phase of Ultra Slow-Roll and still form

We present novel implementations of Starobisky-like inflation within supergravity adopting Kähler potentials for the inflaton which parameterizes hyperbolic geometries known from T-model inflation. The associated superpotentials are consistent with an R and a global or gauge U(1)X symmetries. The inflaton is represented by a gauge-singlet or non-singlet superfield and is accompanied by a gauge-singlet superfield successfully stabilized thanks to its compact contribution into the total Kähler potential. Keeping the Kähler manifold intact, a conveniently violated shift symmetry is introduced whi

Abstract:
Rationale: Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration might be beneficial in preventing tidal recruitment. To detect tidal recruitment by electrical impedance tomography (EIT), the time disparity between the regional ventilation curves (regional ventilation delay inhomogeneity [RVDI]) can be measured during controlled mechanical ventilation when applying a slow inflation of 12 mL/kg of body weight (BW). However, repeated large slow inflations may result in high end-inspiratory pressure (PEI), which might limit the clinical applicability of this method. We hypothesized tha

Abstract We study the cosmological collider signatures in the Higgs-R 2 inflation model. We consider two distinct types of signals: one originating from the inflaton coupling to Standard Model fermions and gauge bosons, and another arising from the isocurvature mode interaction with the inflaton. In the former case, we determine that the signal magnitude is likely too small for detection by upcoming probes, primarily due to suppression by both the Planck scale and slow-roll parameters. However, we provide a detailed computation of the signal which could be potentially applicable to various Hig

Abstract The recent literature on the welfare cost of inflation emphasizes inflation’s effect on the variability of relative prices. Expected and unexpected inflation have both been proposed to increase relative price variability (RPV) and, thereby, to distort the information content of nominal prices. This paper presents new evidence on the impact of inflation on RPV in Germany. Our results indicate that the influence of expected inflation disappears if a credible monetary policy stabilizes inflationary expectations on a low level.

Abstract:
Abstract Plateau inflation is an experimentally consistent framework in which the scale of inflation can be kept relatively low. Close to the edge of the plateau, scalar perturbations are subject to a strong tachyonic instability. Tachyonic preheating is realized when, after inflation, the oscillating inflaton repeatedly re-enters the plateau. We develop the analytic theory of this process and expand the linear approach by including backreaction between the coherent background and growing perturbations. For a family of plateau models, the analytic predictions are confronted with numerical esti

Abstract:
An extended inflation model, in which the inflaton field is nonminimally coupled to the gravity, is discussed. It is shown that the nucleation rate of bubbles, during a phase transition in the inflaton field, can increase as the transition proceeds for a wide range of parameters of the inflaton potential. The bounce action for three possible cases—the strong gravity regime, the thick-walled Coleman-De Luccia bubbles and the thin-walled bubbles—is evaluated. The resulting bubble distribution for all the cases is shown to be in conformity with cosmological constraints for ω<500.
