A Theory of a Spot
Niayesh Afshordi, Anže Slosar, Yi Wang
We present a simple inflationary scenario that can produce arbitrarily large spherical underdense or overdense regions embedded in a standard Lambda cold dark matter paradigm, whic…
Large Nonlocal Non-Gaussianity from a Curvaton Brane
Yi-Fu Cai, Yi Wang
We use a generalized delta N formalism to study the generation of the primordial curvature perturbation in the curvaton brane scenario inspired by stringy compactifications. We not…
Quadra-Spectrum and Quint-Spectrum from Inflation and Curvaton Models
Chunshan Lin, Yi Wang
We calculate the quadra-spectrum and quint-spectrum, corresponding to five and six point correlation functions of the curvature perturbation. For single field inflation with standa…
Towards a Holographic Description of Inflation and Generation of Fluctuations from Thermodynamics
Yi Wang
Recently, Verlinde conjectured that gravity may be an entropic force, arising from thermodynamics on the holographic screen. We investigate the implications of the entropic force f…
Multi-Stream Inflation: Bifurcations and Recombinations in the Multiverse
Yi Wang
In this Letter, we briefly review the multi-stream inflation scenario, and discuss its implications in the string theory landscape and the inflationary multiverse. In multi-stream…
