An Ignoble Approach to Large Field Inflation

Nemanja Kaloper, Albion Lawrence, Lorenzo Sorbo

We study an inflationary model developed by Kaloper and Sorbo, in which the inflaton is an axion with a sub-Planckian decay constant, whose potential is generated by mixing with a…

Can you hear the shape of dual geometries?

Richard Eager, Michael Gary, Matthew M. Roberts

We compute the sub-leading terms in the Tian-Yau-Zelditch asymptotic expansion of the partition function for dual giant gravitons on AdS5 L5 and provide a bulk interpretat…

Cosmic Acceleration and the Helicity-0 Graviton

Claudia de Rham, Gregory Gabadadze, Lavinia Heisenberg +1

We explore cosmology in the decoupling limit of a non-linear covariant extension of Fierz-Pauli massive gravity obtained recently in arXiv:1007.0443. In this limit the theory is a…

Resummation of Massive Gravity

Claudia de Rham, Gregory Gabadadze, Andrew J. Tolley

We construct four-dimensional covariant non-linear theories of massive gravity which are ghost-free in the decoupling limit to all orders. These theories resum explicitly all the n…

String Theory and The Velo-Zwanziger Problem

Massimo Porrati, Rakibur Rahman, Augusto Sagnotti

We examine the behavior of the leading Regge trajectory of the open bosonic string in a uniform electromagnetic background and present a consistent set of Fierz-Pauli conditions fo…

Galilean symmetry in the effective theory of inflation: new shapes of non-Gaussianity

Paolo Creminelli, Guido D'Amico, Marcello Musso +2

We study the consequences of imposing an approximate Galilean symmetry on the Effective Theory of Inflation, the theory of small perturbations around the inflationary background. T…
