Tachyonic Encore: A universal shift of inflationary observables
Diogo S. Gorgulho, Margherita Putti, Rodrigo Gonzalez Quaglia +3
We propose a generic, largely inflaton-potential-independent mechanism in which a light axion spectator, initialized near the hilltop of its potential, reshapes inflationary observ…
Post-inflationary enhancement of adiabatic perturbations in modular cosmology
Rodrigo Gonzalez Quaglia, Martino Michelotti, Diederik Roest +3
We show that multi-field inflationary models with negligible turning in field space during inflation can lead to an effective sourcing of adiabatic from entropic perturbations {\it…
Kinetic Gauge Friction in Natural Inflation
Martino Michelotti, Rodrigo Gonzalez Quaglia, Ema Dimastrogiovanni +2
We study an extension of the natural inflation model comprising a non-Abelian gauge sector coupled to the axion-inflaton kinetic term. We show how such non-minimal coupling serves…
Local scale symmetry in non-riemannian geometry based gravitational theories and the role of the noether current
R. Gonzalez Quaglia, Israel Quiros
In this paper, we delve into the significance of local scale symmetry and the role of the associated noether current, within gravitational theories which are based in non-riemannia…
