Brane Inflation and the Overshoot Problem
Simeon Bird, Hiranya V. Peiris, Daniel Baumann
We investigate recent claims that brane inflation solves the overshoot problem through a combination of microphysical restrictions on the phase space of initial conditions and the…
CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Probing Inflation with CMB Polarization
Daniel Baumann, Mark G. Jackson, Peter Adshead +56
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measu…
Fine-tuning criteria for inflation and the search for primordial gravitational waves
Simeon Bird, Hiranya V. Peiris, Richard Easther
We revisit arguments that simple models of inflation with a small red tilt in the scalar power spectrum generically yield an observable tensor spectrum. We show that criteria for f…
