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 …
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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
