Choice of vacuum state and the relation between inflationary and Planck scales

M Kowalczyk, GA Mena Marugán - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Recent observations about the cosmic microwave background evidence a clear discrepancy
between the scale of inflation and the Planck scale expected in the conventional inflationary …

Towards a possible solution to the Hubble tension with Horndeski gravity

Y Tiwari, B Ghosh, RK Jain - The European Physical Journal C, 2024 - Springer
The Hubble tension refers to the discrepancy in the value of the Hubble constant H 0
inferred from the cosmic microwave background observations, assuming the concordance Λ …

Particle production during inflation with a nonminimally coupled spectator scalar field

Z Yu, C Fu, ZK Guo - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the inflationary model with a spectator scalar field χ coupled to both the inflaton
and Ricci scalar. The interaction between the χ field and the gravity, denoted by ξ R χ 2, can …

Intermediate inflation in a generalized non-minimal derivative coupling model

P Goodarzi - The European Physical Journal C, 2024 - Springer
In this work, we consider intermediate inflation in the context of the generalized non-minimal
derivative coupling (GNMDC) model. In the GNMDC model, inflation is driven by a canonical …

A Truncated Primordial Power Spectrum and Its Impact on Inflation

J Liu - 2024 - search.proquest.com
After Planck's results came out, it became evident that inflation could not initiate at the
Planck time with the universe's density being the Planck density. More specifically, Planck's …
