Inflation scenario via the Standard Model Higgs boson and LHC
A. O. Barvinsky, A. Yu. Kamenshchik, A. A. Starobinsky
We consider a quantum corrected inflation scenario driven by a generic GUT or Standard Model type particle model whose scalar field playing the role of an inflaton has a strong non…
Generation of fluctuations during inflation: comparison of stochastic and field-theoretic approaches
F. Finelli, G. Marozzi, A. A. Starobinsky +2
We prove that the stochastic and standard field-theoretical approaches produce exactly the same results for the amount of light massive scalar field fluctuations generated during i…
Large Scale Plane-Mirroring in the Cosmic Microwave Background WMAP5 Maps
V. G. Gurzadyan, A. A. Starobinsky, T. Ghahramanyan +5
We continue investigation of the hidden plane-mirror symmetry in the distribution of excursion sets in cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy maps, previously not…
Two new diagnostics of dark energy
Varun Sahni, Arman Shafieloo, Alexei A. Starobinsky
We introduce two new diagnostics of dark energy (DE). The first, Om, is a combination of the Hubble parameter and the cosmological redshift and provides a "null test" of dark energ…
Is a step in the primordial spectral index favored by CMB data ?
Minu Joy, Arman Shafieloo, Varun Sahni +1
A sudden small change in the second derivative of the inflaton potential can result in a universal local feature in the spectrum of primordial perturbations generated during inflat…
