Generality of Starobinsky and Higgs inflation in the Jordan frame
Swagat S. Mishra, Daniel Müller, Aleksey V. Toporensky
We revisit the problem of generality of Starobinsky and Higgs inflation. The known results obtained in the Einstein frame are generalized for the case of an arbitrary initial energ…

Primordial Black Holes from a tiny bump/dip in the Inflaton potential
Swagat S. Mishra, Varun Sahni
Scalar perturbations during inflation can be substantially amplified by tiny features in the inflaton potential. A bump-like feature behaves like a local speed-breaker and lowers t…
