Higgs-Palatini Inflation and Unitarity
Florian Bauer, Durmus A. Demir
In the Higgs inflation scenario the Higgs field is strongly coupled to the Ricci scalar in order to drive primordial inflation. However, in its original form in pure metric formula…
The cosmological constant and the relaxed universe
Florian Bauer
We study the role of the cosmological constant (CC) as a component of dark energy (DE). It is argued that the cosmological term is in general unavoidable and it should not be ignor…
Filtering out the cosmological constant in the Palatini formalism of modified gravity
Florian Bauer
According to theoretical physics the cosmological constant (CC) is expected to be much larger in magnitude than other energy densities in the universe, which is in stark contrast t…
Dynamically avoiding fine-tuning the cosmological constant: the "Relaxed Universe"
Florian Bauer, Joan Sola, Hrvoje Stefancic
We demonstrate that there exists a large class of action functionals of the scalar curvature and of the Gauss-Bonnet invariant which are able to relax dynamically a large cosmologi…
