Wading the String Bog: CMB Birefringence in the Swampland
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper, Alexander Westphal
We point out that observations of cosmic birefringence may provide direct experimental tests of Swampland conjectures. Ultralight scalar field birefringence mechanisms are constrai…

Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation
Guido D'Amico, Andrew A. Geraci, Nemanja Kaloper +1
We show that in multi-stage axion monodromy inflation an interruption near the end of the penultimate stage can lead to a spike in the gravitational wave background. These gravitat…

Reviving QFT in de Sitter Spacetime
Guido D'Amico, Nemanja Kaloper
We consider a conformally coupled scalar QFT on dimensional static Einstein universe , and write down the free theory Hilbert space. We explain that this theory…
