EFT Beyond the Horizon: Stochastic Inflation and How Primordial Quantum Fluctuations Go Classical
C. P. Burgess, R. Holman, G. Tasinato +1
We identify the effective theory describing inflationary super-Hubble scales and show it to be a special case of effective field theories appropriate to open systems. Open systems…

Inflating with Large Effective Fields
C. P. Burgess, M. Cicoli, F. Quevedo +1
We re-examine large scalar fields within effective field theory, in particular focussing on the issues raised by their use in inflationary models (as suggested by BICEP2 to obtain…

Gravitational Forces on a Codimension-2 Brane
C. P. Burgess, L. van Nierop, M. Williams
We compute the gravitational response of six dimensional gauged, chiral supergravity to localized stress energy on one of two space-filling branes, including the effects of compact…
