Inflaton candidates: from string theory to particle physics
K. Sravan Kumar
Cosmic inflation is the cornerstone of modern cosmology. In particular, following the Planck mission reports presented in 2015 regarding cosmic microwave background (CMB), there is…

Trapped Quintessential Inflation in the context of Flux Compactifications
J. C. Bueno Sanchez, K. Dimopoulos
We present a model for quintessential inflation using a string modulus for the inflaton - quintessence field. The scalar potential of our model is based on generic non-perturbative…

Trapped Quintessential Inflation
J. C. Bueno Sanchez, K. Dimopoulos
Quintessential inflation is studied using a string modulus as the inflaton - quintessence field. The modulus begins its evolution at the steep part of its scalar potential, which i…
