Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

EW Kolb, AJ Long - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an
expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an …

Cosmological backgrounds of gravitational waves

C Caprini, DG Figueroa - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Gravitational waves (GWs) have a great potential to probe cosmology. We review early
universe sources that can lead to cosmological backgrounds of GWs. We begin by …

Lectures on the string landscape and the Swampland

NB Agmon, A Bedroya, MJ Kang, C Vafa - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.06187, 2022 - arxiv.org
We provide an overview of the string landscape and the Swampland program. Our review of
the string landscape covers the worldsheet and spacetime perspectives, including vacua …

The dark dimension and the Swampland

M Montero, C Vafa, I Valenzuela - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by principles from the Swampland program, which characterize
requirements for a consistent UV completion of quantum gravity, combined with …

Galileon inflation evades the no-go for PBH formation in the single-field framework

S Choudhury, S Panda, M Sami - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider Galileon inflation in the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework and examine
the possibility for PBH formation during slow roll (SR) to ultra slow roll (USR) transitions. We …

Testing general relativity in cosmology

M Ishak - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2019 - Springer
We review recent developments and results in testing general relativity (GR) at cosmological
scales. The subject has witnessed rapid growth during the last two decades with the aim of …

AdS and the Swampland

D Lüst, E Palti, C Vafa - Physics Letters B, 2019 - Elsevier
We study aspects of anti-de Sitter space in the context of the Swampland. In particular, we
conjecture that the near-flat limit of pure AdS belongs to the Swampland, as it is necessarily …

Beyond the cosmological standard model

A Joyce, B Jain, J Khoury, M Trodden - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
After a decade and a half of research motivated by the accelerating universe, theory and
experiment have reached a certain level of maturity. The development of theoretical models …

Science with the space-based interferometer LISA. IV: Probing inflation with gravitational waves

N Bartolo, C Caprini, V Domcke… - … of Cosmology and …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the potential for the LISA space-based interferometer to detect the stochastic
gravitational wave background produced from different mechanisms during inflation …

[HTML][HTML] Massive gravity

C de Rham - Living reviews in relativity, 2014 - Springer
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of
massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the …
