Inflaton Dynamics in Higher-Derivative Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
Sam E. Brady, Katy Clough, Pau Figueras +1
The paper investigates how higher‑derivative corrections in scalar‑tensor gravity affect inflation when the inflaton is the extra scalar degree of freedom, focusing on regimes wher…

Stable non-linear evolution in regularised higher derivative effective field theories
Pau Figueras, Ãron D. Kovács, Shunhui Yao
We study properties of a recently proposed regularisation scheme to formulate the initial value problem for general (relativistic) effective field theories (EFTs) with arbitrary hi…
