Inflation in non-local hybrid metric-Palatini gravity
Flavio Bombacigno, Mariaveronica De Angelis, Carsten van de Bruck +1
Within the framework of hybrid metric-Palatini gravity, we incorporate non-localities introduced via the inverse of the d'Alembert operators acting on the scalar curvature. We anal…
CMB Implications of Multi-field Axio-dilaton Cosmology
Adam Smith, Maria Mylova, Philippe Brax +3
Axio-dilaton models are among the simplest scalar-tensor theories that contain the two-derivative interactions that naturally compete at low energies with the two-derivative inter-…
Inflation and Scale-invariant -Gravity
Carsten van de Bruck, Richard Daniel
In scale-invariant models of fundamental physics, mass scales are generated by spontaneous symmetry breaking. In this work, we study inflation in scale-invariant gravity, in…
Dark D-Brane Cosmology: from background evolution to cosmological perturbations
Carsten van de Bruck, Elsa M. Teixeira
We study the cosmological predictions of the dark D-brane model, in which dark matter resides on a D-brane moving in a higher-dimensional space. By construction, dark matter intera…
Dark matter relic density from conformally or disformally coupled light scalars
Sebastian Trojanowski, Philippe Brax, Carsten van de Bruck
Thermal freeze-out is a prominent example of dark matter (DM) production mechanism in the early Universe that can yield the correct relic density of stable weakly interacting massi…
Dark Energy, the Swampland and the Equivalence Principle
Carsten van de Bruck, Cameron C. Thomas
It has recently been argued that string theory does not admit de Sitter vacua. This would imply that the current accelerated expansion of the universe is not driven by a cosmologic…
