Higgs Inflation and the Electroweak Gauge Sector
Stephon Alexander, Cyril Creque-Sarbinowski, Humberto Gilmer +1
We introduce a new method that allows for the Higgs to be the inflaton. That is, we let the Higgs be a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) boson of a global coset symmetry that spon…
WarmSPy: a numerical study of cosmological perturbations in warm inflation
Gabriele Montefalcone, Vikas Aragam, Luca Visinelli +1
We present WarmSPy, a numerical code in Python designed to solve for the perturbations' equations in warm inflation models and compute the corresponding scalar power spectrum at CM…
Detectability of Supermassive Dark Stars with the Roman Space Telescope
Saiyang Zhang, Cosmin Ilie, Katherine Freese
The first bright objects to form in the Universe at redshift might have been Dark Stars, made primarily of hydrogen and helium but powered by dark matter. In this st…
Supermassive Dark Star candidates seen by JWST?
Cosmin Ilie, Jillian Paulin, Katherine Freese
The first generation of stars in the Universe is yet to be observed. There are two leading theories for those objects that mark the beginning of the cosmic dawn: hydrogen burning P…
Dark Matter and Gravity Waves from a Dark Big Bang
Katherine Freese, Martin Wolfgang Winkler
The Hot Big Bang is often considered as the origin of all matter and radiation in the Universe. Primordial nucleosynthesis (BBN) provides strong evidence that the early Universe co…
Observational Constraints on Warm Natural Inflation
Gabriele Montefalcone, Vikas Aragam, Luca Visinelli +1
Warm natural inflation is studied for the case of the original cosine potential. The radiation bath during inflation induces a dissipation (friction) rate in the equation of motion…
