Observational Signatures of Gravitational Couplings in DBI Inflation
Damien A. Easson, Shinji Mukohyama, Brian A. Powell
In scalar-tensor theories the scalar fields generically couple nontrivially to gravity. We study the observable properties of inflationary models with non-minimally coupled inflato…

Circumventing the eta problem in building an inflationary model in string theory
Damien A. Easson, Ruth Gregory
The eta problem is one of the most significant obstacles to building a successful inflationary model in string theory. Planck mass suppressed corrections to the inflaton potential…
