Tensor Catalyzed Decoherence of Primordial Scalar Fluctuations
C. P. Burgess, D. Dineen, R. Holman +1
We provide the first complete calculation of the leading contribution to the decoherence of primordial fluctuations in the scalar part of the metric fluctuations within simplest, s…

Does decoherence violate decoupling?
C. P. Burgess, Thomas Colas, R. Holman +1
Recent calculations in both flat and de Sitter spacetimes have highlighted a tension between the decoupling of high-energy physics from low-energy degrees of freedom and the expect…

Power-counting during single-field slow-roll inflation
Peter Adshead, C. P. Burgess, R. Holman +1
We elucidate the counting of the relevant small parameters in inflationary perturbation theory. Doing this allows for an explicit delineation of the domain of validity of the semi-…
