Type I Hilltop Inflation and the Refined Swampland Criteria
Chia-Min Lin
In this paper, I show that type I hilltop inflation under the current observational constaints could have in the param…
What we can learn from the spectral index of the tensor mode
Kazunori Kohri, Chia-Min Lin, Tomohiro Matsuda
If the beginning of inflation is defined at the moment when the vacuum energy of the inflaton starts to dominate, the energy density of the other fields at that moment is (by defin…
Delta-N Formalism for Curvaton with Modulated Decay
Kazunori Kohri, Chia-Min Lin, Tomohiro Matsuda
In this paper, the curvature perturbation generated by the modulated curvaton decay is studied by a direct application of -formalism. Our method has a sharp contrast with the {…
Passive Curvaton
Chia-Min Lin
We propose a class of curvaton models which we call passive curvaton. In this paper, two kinds of passive curvaton is considered. The first one is a pseudoscalar curvaton couples t…
Kinematically Blocked Curvaton
Lu-Yun Lee, Chia-Min Lin, Chian-Shu Chen
In this paper, we investigate the idea that the decay of a curvaton is kinematically blocked and show that the coupling constant for curvaton decay can be as large as …
