Phenomenology of Horndeski Gravity under Positivity Bounds

Dani de Boe, Gen Ye, Fabrizio Renzi +3

A set of conditions that any effective field theory needs to satisfy in order to allow for the existence of a viable UV completion has recently gained attention in the cosmological…

A novel model-marginalized cosmological bound on the QCD axion mass

Eleonora Di Valentino, Stefano Gariazzo, William Giarè +3

We present model-marginalized limits on mixed hot dark matter scenarios, which consider both thermal neutrinos and thermal QCD axions. A novel aspect of our analyses is the inclusi…

What is the amplitude of the Gravitational Waves background expected in the Starobinsky model ?

Fabrizio Renzi, Mehdi Shokri, Alessandro Melchiorri

The inflationary model proposed by Starobinski in 1979 predicts an amplitude of the spectrum of primordial gravitational waves, parametrized by the tensor to scalar ratio, of $r=0.…
