Cosmological singularities and bounce in Cartan-Einstein theory

Stefano Lucat, Tomislav Prokopec

We consider a generalized Einstein-Cartan theory, in which we add the unique covariant dimension four operators to general relativity that couples fermionic spin current to the tor…

Late-time quantum backreaction of a very light nonminimally coupled scalar

Dražen Glavan, Tomislav Prokopec, Tomo Takahashi

We investigate the backreaction of the quantum fluctuations of a very light () nonminimally coupled spectator scalar field on the expansion dynamic…

Quantum Scalar Corrections to the Gravitational Potentials on de Sitter Background

Sohyun Park, Tomislav Prokopec, R. P. Woodard

We employ the graviton self-energy induced by a massless, minimally coupled (MMC) scalar on de Sitter background to compute the quantum corrections to the gravitational potentials…

Late time solution for interacting scalar in accelerating spaces

Tomislav Prokopec

We consider stochastic inflation in an interacting scalar field in spatially homogeneous accelerating space-times with a constant principal slow roll parameter . We show that, i…

Topological inflation with graceful exit

Anja Marunović, Tomislav Prokopec

We investigate a class of models of topological inflation in which a super-Hubble-sized global monopole seeds inflation. These models are attractive since inflation starts from rat…

Inflation from cosmological constant and nonminimally coupled scalar

Dražen Glavan, Anja Marunović, Tomislav Prokopec

We consider inflation in a universe with a positive cosmological constant and a nonminimally coupled scalar field, in which the field couples both quadratically and quartically to…
