The classical double copy in three spacetime dimensions
Mariana Carrillo González, Brandon Melcher, Kenneth Ratliff +2
The double copy relates scattering amplitudes in gauge and gravity theories, and has also been extended to classical solutions. In this paper, we study solutions in three spacetime…
Was the Universe Actually Radiation Dominated Prior to Nucleosynthesis?
John T. Giblin, Gordon Kane, Eva Nesbit +2
Maybe not. String theory approaches to both beyond the Standard Model and Inflationary model building generically predict the existence of scalars (moduli) that are light compared…
Toward an Effective Field Theory Approach to Reheating
Ogan Ozsoy, John T. Giblin, Eva Nesbit +2
We investigate whether Effective Field Theory (EFT) approaches, which have been useful in examining inflation and dark energy, can also be used to establish a systematic approach t…
A Model Independent Approach to (p)Reheating
Ogan Özsoy, Gizem Sengor, Kuver Sinha +1
In this note we propose a model independent framework for inflationary (p)reheating. Our approach is analogous to the Effective Field Theory of Inflation, however here the inflaton…
Cosmological Moduli and the Post-Inflationary Universe: A Critical Review
Gordon Kane, Kuver Sinha, Scott Watson
We critically review the role of cosmological moduli in determining the post-inflationary history of the universe. Moduli are ubiquitous in string and M-theory constructions of bey…
How Well Can We Really Determine the Scale of Inflation?
Ogan Özsoy, Kuver Sinha, Scott Watson
A detection of primordial B-modes has been heralded not only as a smoking gun for the existence of inflation, but also as a way to establish the scale at which inflation took place…
