Tensor ghosts in the inflationary cosmology
Tim Clunan, Misao Sasaki
Theories with curvature squared terms in the action are known to contain ghost modes in general. However, if we regard curvature squared terms as quantum corrections to the origina…
Relics of spatial curvature in the primordial non-gaussianity
Tim Clunan, David Seery
We study signatures in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) induced by the presence of strong spatial curvature prior to the epoch of inflation which generated our present univers…
The No-Boundary Probability for the Universe starting at the top of the hill
Tim Clunan
We use the Hartle-Hawking No-Boundary Proposal to make a comparison between the probabilities of the universe starting near, and at, the top of a hill in the effective potential. I…
On Gauss-Bonnet black hole entropy
Tim Clunan, Simon F. Ross, Douglas J. Smith
We investigate the entropy of black holes in Gauss-Bonnet and Lovelock gravity using the Noether charge approach, in which the entropy is given as the integral of a suitable (n-2)…
