Inflationary Cosmology: Exploring the Universe from the Smallest to the Largest Scales
Alan H. Guth, David I. Kaiser
Understanding the behavior of the universe at large depends critically on insights about the smallest units of matter and their fundamental interactions. Inflationary cosmology is…
Supercurvature Modes from Preheating in an Open Universe
David I. Kaiser
Preheating following the inflationary phase in models of open inflation is considered. The most significant difference from a preheating scenario in flat space is that supercurvatu…
Frame-Independent Calculation of Spectral Indices from Inflation
David Kaiser
Spectral indices from models of inflation which incorporate a Generalized Einstein Theory (GET) gravity sector are calculated to first order in a slow-roll expansion. By quantizing…
Post-Inflation Reheating in an Expanding Universe
David I. Kaiser
An analytic means of studying the resonant decay of the inflaton field is developed for the case of background expansion, . It is shown that the parametric resonance in t…
Primordial Spectral Indices from Generalized Einstein Theories
David Kaiser
Primordial spectral indices are calculated to second order in slow-roll parameters for three closely-related models of inflation, all of which contain a scalar field non-minimally…
