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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Non-Gaussianity as a particle detector

H Lee, D Baumann, GL Pimentel - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We study the imprints of massive particles with spin on cosmological correlators.
Using the framework of the effective field theory of inflation, we classify the couplings of …

Recent developments in bimetric theory

A Schmidt-May, M von Strauss - Journal of Physics A …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This review is dedicated to recent progress in the field of classical, interacting, massive spin-
2 theories, with a focus on ghost-free bimetric theory. We will outline its history and its …

Models of non-relativistic quantum gravity: The Good, the bad and the healthy

D Blas, O Pujolas, S Sibiryakov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
Hořava's proposal for non-relativistic quantum gravity introduces a preferred time foliation of
space-time which violates the local Lorentz invariance. The foliation is encoded in a …

On the extra mode and inconsistency of Hořava gravity

D Blas, O Pujolas, S Sibiryakov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We address the consistency of Hořava's proposal for a theory of quantum gravity from the
low-energy perspective. We uncover the additional scalar degree of freedom arising from …
