Distance-Higuchi Bounds on Inflationary Field Ranges and Lifetimes
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Alek Bedroya
We show that quasi-de Sitter inflation driven by a nearly flat scalar potential has a finite polynomial lifespan dictated by the interplay between the swampland Distance Conjecture…
IR Black Hole Instabilities Trigger Species-Scale Particle Production
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Alek Bedroya, Dieter Lüst +1
We propose a novel UV-IR mechanism in quantum gravity in which black hole instabilities act as a bridge to the most ultraviolet sector of the theory. Specifically, we argue that wh…
TransPlanckian Censorship on Dark Dimension Inflation
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Jules Cunat
It was proposed that extra dimensions can acquire large size by higher dimensional inflation connecting two large hierarchies in particle physics and cosmology, namely the weakness…
Cosmological history after higher dimensional inflation
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Jules Cunat
It was proposed that extra dimensions can acquire large size by higher dimensional inflation connecting two large hierarchies in particle physics and cosmology, namely the weakness…
Moduli Space Quantum Mechanics
Luis Anchordoqui, Muldrow Etheredge, Dieter Lust
In this paper, continuing the discussion about Species Quantum Mechanics, we investigate quantum mechanics in moduli spaces using a mini-superspace approach. From this perspective,…
Massive neutrinos and interacting dark matter look alike through the lens of lensing
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Danny Marfatia, Jorge F. Soriano
We demonstrate that the suppression in the lensing power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) caused by massive neutrinos can be mimicked by dark matter-baryon interac…
