Quintessential inflation with a trap and axionic dark matter
Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Mindaugas Karčiauskas, Charlotte Owen
We study a new model of quintessential inflation which is inspired by supergravity and string theory. The model features a kinetic pole, which gives rise to the inflationary platea…
Primordial Black Hole Formation During Slow Reheating After Inflation
Bernard Carr, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Charlotte Owen +1
We study the formation of primordial black holes (PBHs) in the early Universe during a period of slow reheating after inflation. We demonstrate how the PBH formation mechanism may…
Gauss-Bonnet-coupled Quintessential Inflation
Carsten van de Bruck, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Chris Longden +1
We study in detail a new model of quintessential inflation where the inflaton field is coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term. This coupling ensures that the variation of the field is ke…
