Entropic cosmology: a unified model of inflation and late-time acceleration

Yi-Fu Cai, Jie Liu, Hong Li

Holography is expected as one of the promising descriptions of quantum general relativity. We present a model for a cosmological system involving two holographic screens and find t…

Rotating a Curvaton Brane in a Warped Throat

Jun Zhang, Yi-Fu Cai, Yun-Song Piao

In this paper we study a curvaton model obtained by considering a probe anti-D3-brane with angular motion at the bottom of a KS throat with approximate isometries. We calculate the…

Quintom Cosmology: Theoretical implications and observations

Yi-Fu Cai, Emmanuel N. Saridakis, Mohammad R. Setare +1

We review the paradigm of quintom cosmology. This scenario is motivated by the observational indications that the equation of state of dark energy across the cosmological constant…

Primordial perturbation with a modified dispersion relation

Yi-Fu Cai, Xinmin Zhang

In this paper we study the generation of primordial perturbation with a modified dispersion relation in various cosmological evolutions. We stress that the formation of the power s…

Inflation with multiple sound speeds: a model of multiple DBI type actions and non-Gaussianities

Yi-Fu Cai, Hai-Ying Xia

In this letter we study adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations in the frame of inflation with multiple sound speeds involved. We suggest this scenario can be realized by a number…

Thermal Fluctuations and Bouncing Cosmologies

Yi-Fu Cai, Wei Xue, Robert Brandenberger +1

We study the conditions under which thermal fluctuations generated in the contracting phase of a non-singular bouncing cosmology can lead to a scale-invariant spectrum of cosmologi…
