The curvature perturbation generated by thermal fluctuations during thermal inflation
Jeong-Myeong Bae, Hammam Raihan Mohammad, Ewan D. Stewart +1
During thermal inflation, the temperature determines the number of e-folds of expansion of the universe and so thermal fluctuations are magnified into curvature perturbations. We u…
Stability of the electroweak vacuum with respect to vacuum tunneling to the Komatsu vacuum in the cMSSM
Hyukjung Kim, Ewan D. Stewart, Heeseung Zoe
We investigate the stability of the electroweak vacuum with respect to vacuum tunneling to the Komatsu vacuum, which exists when , in the cMSSM. Employing the…
Constraining Affleck-Dine Leptogenesis after Thermal Inflation
Seolhwa Kim, Ewan D. Stewart
Affleck-Dine leptogenesis after thermal inflation along the direction requires up to the AD scale ( GeV). We renormalised thi…
Damping of an oscillating scalar field indirectly coupled to a thermal bath
Erwin H. Tanin, Ewan D. Stewart
The damping process of a homogeneous oscillating scalar field that indirectly interacts with a thermal bath through a mediator field is investigated over a wide range of model para…
CMB Spectral Distortion Constraints on Thermal Inflation
Kihyun Cho, Sungwook E. Hong, Ewan D. Stewart +1
Thermal inflation is a second epoch of exponential expansion at typical energy scales . If the usual primordial inflation is followed by th…
Effects of thermal inflation on small scale density perturbations
Sungwook E. Hong, Hyung-Joo Lee, Young Jae Lee +2
In cosmological scenarios with thermal inflation, extra eras of moduli matter domination, thermal inflation and flaton matter domination exist between primordial inflation and the…
