Features and new physical scales in primordial observables: theory and observation

J Chluba, J Hamann, SP Patil - International Journal of Modern …, 2015 - World Scientific

scale invariant initial conditions. These findings provide strong evidence for a particular …

Inflation: theory and observations

A Achúcarro, M Biagetti, M Braglia, G Cabass… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Cosmic inflation provides a window to the highest energy densities accessible in nature, far

Inflation, the Hubble tension, and early dark energy: An alternative overview

W Giarè - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
I review and discuss the possible implications for inflation resulting from considering new
physics in light of the Hubble tension. My study is motivated by a simple argument that the …

Primordial non-gaussianity

PD Meerburg, D Green, M Abidi, MA Amin… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
