Inflationary magneto-(non)genesis, increasing kinetic couplings, and the strong coupling problem
Hossein Bazrafshan Moghaddam, Evan McDonough, Ryo Namba +1
We study the generation of magnetic fields during inflation making use of a coupling of the inflaton and moduli fields to electromagnetism via the photon kinetic term, and assuming…

V-mode Polarization in Axion Inflation and Preheating
Stephon Alexander, Evan McDonough, Robert Sims
We study the production of primordial circular ("V-mode") polarization in axion inflation coupled to fermions and gauge fields, with special attention paid to (p)reheating. We cons…
