Non-Minimally Coupled Inflation with Initial Conditions from a Pre-Inflation Anamorphic Contracting Era
John McDonald
Inflation due to a non-minimally coupled scalar field with a large non-minimal coupling, as first proposed by Salopek, Bardeen and Bond (SBB), is in good agreement with the observe…

WIMP Dark Matter and Unitarity-Conserving Inflation via a Gauge Singlet Scalar
Felix Kahlhoefer, John McDonald
A gauge singlet scalar with non-minimal coupling to gravity can drive inflation and later freeze out to become cold dark matter. We explore this idea by revisiting inflation in the…
