Palatini-Higgs inflation with non-minimal derivative coupling

Ioannis D. Gialamas, Alexandros Karam, Angelos Lykkas +1

The predictions of standard Higgs inflation in the framework of the metric formalism yield a tensor-to-scalar ratio which lies well within the expected accuracy of…

General parametrization of higher-dimensional black holes and its application to Einstein-Lovelock theory

Roman A. Konoplya, Thomas D. Pappas, Zdenek Stuchlík

Here we have developed the general parametrization for spherically symmetric and asymptotically flat black-hole spacetimes in an arbitrary metric theory of gravity. The parametriza…

Single-field inflation in models with an term

Ignatios Antoniadis, Alexandros Karam, Angelos Lykkas +2

We present two cases where the addition of the term to an inflationary model leads to single-field inflation instead of two-field inflation as is usually the case. In both ca…

Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet black holes: Analytical approximation for the metric and applications to calculations of shadows

Roman A. Konoplya, Thomas Pappas, Alexander Zhidenko

Recently, numerical solutions to the field equations of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity that correspond to black-holes with non-trivial scalar hair have been reported. Here, w…

Frame-dependence of inflationary observables in scalar-tensor gravity

Alexandros Karam, Thomas Pappas, Kyriakos Tamvakis

By means of the Green's function method, we computed the spectral indices up to third order in the slow-roll approximation for a general scalar-tensor theory in both the Einstein a…

Rescuing Quartic and Natural Inflation in the Palatini Formalism

I. Antoniadis, A. Karam, A. Lykkas +2

When considered in the Palatini formalism, the Starobinsky model does not provide us with a mechanism for inflation due to the absence of a propagating scalar degree of freedom. By…
