Renormalization effects fade away during inflation
Christian Durán Romero, Luis J. Garay, Mercedes Martín-Benito +1
The renormalization of the primordial inflationary power spectrum has long raised the possibility that ultraviolet effects could significantly alter predictions for cosmological ob…
Influence of spatial curvature in cosmological particle production
Jose A. R. Cembranos, Luis J. Garay, Álvaro Parra-López
We analyze cosmological particle production driven by spacetime expansion in the early universe for homogeneous and isotropic cosmologies with positive, negative, and zero spatial…
Estimation of gravitational production uncertainties
Jose A. R. Cembranos, Luis J. Garay, Álvaro Parra-López +1
Cosmological production of scalar, non-minimally coupled dark matter depends on the specifics of the inflationary model under consideration. We analyze both Starobinsky inflation a…
No black holes from light
Álvaro Álvarez-Domínguez, Luis J. Garay, Eduardo Martín-Martínez +1
We show that it is not possible to concentrate enough light to precipitate the formation of an event horizon. We argue that the dissipative quantum effects coming from the self-int…
