Inflation in string theory: a graceful exit to the real world
Michele Cicoli, Anupam Mazumdar
The most important criteria for a successful inflation are to explain the observed temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation, and exiting inflation in a v…

Reheating for Closed String Inflation
Michele Cicoli, Anupam Mazumdar
We point out some of the outstanding challenges for embedding inflationary cosmology within string theory studying the process of reheating for models where the inflaton is a close…

Non-standard primordial fluctuations and nongaussianity in string inflation
C. P. Burgess, M. Cicoli, M. Gomez-Reino +3
Inflationary scenarios in string theory often involve a large number of light scalar fields, whose presence can enrich the post-inflationary evolution of primordial fluctuations ge…
