Perturbations in Chromo-Natural Inflation
Peter Adshead, Emil Martinec, Mark Wyman
Chromo-Natural Inflation is the first worked example of a model of inflation in which slow-roll inflation is achieved by "magnetic drift" as opposed to Hubble friction. In this wor…
Primordial Non-Gaussianity and Reionization
Adam Lidz, Eric J. Baxter, Peter Adshead +1
The statistical properties of the primordial perturbations contain clues about the origins of those fluctuations. Although the Planck collaboration has recently obtained tight cons…
Bispectrum in Single-Field Inflation Beyond Slow-Roll
Peter Adshead, Wayne Hu, V Miranda
We develop an integral form for the bispectrum in general single-field inflation whose domain of validity includes models of inflation where the background evolution is not constra…
Gauge Fields and Inflation: Chiral Gravitational Waves, Fluctuations and the Lyth Bound
Peter Adshead, Emil Martinec, Mark Wyman
Models of inflation involving non-Abelian gauge field backgrounds can produce gravitational waves at an observable level with a preferred handedness. This asymmetry comes about bec…
