A critical value of the inflationary tensor-to-scalar ratio from inhomogeneous inflation
Panagiotis Giannadakis, Matthew Elley, Raphael Flauger +1
We show that, for a given fixed value of the number of e-folds of the homogeneous solution, inflation succeeds with order unity inhomogeneities in the initial conditions above a ch…

Robustness of inflation to kinetic inhomogeneities
Matthew Elley, Josu C. Aurrekoetxea, Katy Clough +3
We investigate the effects of large inhomogeneities in both the inflaton field and its momentum. We find that in general, large kinetic perturbations reduce the number of e-folds o…
