Cosmology and fundamental physics with the Euclid satellite

L Amendola, S Appleby, A Avgoustidis, D Bacon… - Living reviews in …, 2018 - Springer
Abstract Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in
2020 within the cosmic vision 2015–2025 program. The main goal of Euclid is to understand …

Perturbative quantum gravity comes of age

RP Woodard - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2014 - World Scientific
I argue that cosmological data from the epoch of primordial inflation is catalyzing the
maturation of quantum gravity from speculation into a hard science. I explain why quantum …

[HTML][HTML] Towards a reliable effective field theory of inflation

M Bastero-Gil, A Berera, RO Ramos, JG Rosa - Physics Letters B, 2021 - Elsevier
We present the first quantum field theory model of inflation that is renormalizable in the
matter sector, with a super-Hubble inflaton mass and sub-Planckian field excursions, which …

On adiabatic subtraction in an inflating Universe

SP Corbà, L Sorbo - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Adiabatic subtraction is a popular method of renormalization of observables in quantum field
theories on a curved spacetime. When applied to the computation of the power spectra of …

Physical scale adiabatic regularization in cosmological spacetimes

A Ferreiro, S Monin, F Torrenti - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We develop a new regularization method for the stress-energy tensor and the two-point
function of free quantum scalar fields propagating in cosmological spacetimes. We proceed …

Untangling PBH overproduction in -SIGWs generated by Pulsar Timing Arrays for MST-EFT of single field inflation

S Choudhury, K Dey, A Karde - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.15065, 2023 - arxiv.org
Our work highlights the crucial role played by the equation of state (EoS) parameter $ w $
within the context of single field inflation with Multiple Sharp Transitions (MSTs) to untangle …

[HTML][HTML] Ultraviolet-regularized power spectrum without infrared distortions in cosmological spacetimes

A Ferreiro, F Torrenti - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
We reexamine the regularization of the two-point function of a scalar field in a Friedmann-
Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime. Adiabatic regularization provides a set of …

Revisiting the Ultraviolet Tail of the Primordial Gravitational Wave

S Pi, M Sasaki, A Wang, J Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.06066, 2024 - arxiv.org
High-frequency primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) with wave numbers larger than the
Hubble parameter at the end of inflation are originated from the ultraviolet (UV) modes …

Large fluctuations and primordial black holes

S Choudhury, M Sami - arXiv preprint arXiv:2407.17006, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we review in detail different mechanisms of generation of large primordial
fluctuations and their implications for the production of primordial black holes (PBHs) and …

Origin of cosmic magnetic fields

L Campanelli - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We calculate, in the free Maxwell theory, the renormalized quantum vacuum expectation
value of the two-point magnetic correlation function in de Sitter inflation. We find that …
