Amplifying quantum discord during inflationary magnetogenesis through violation of parity

Sagarika Tripathy, Rathul Nath Raveendran, Krishnamohan Parattu +1

It is well known that, during inflation, the conformal invariance of the electromagnetic action has to be broken in order to produce magnetic fields of observed strengths today. Of…

Enhanced power on small scales and evolution of quantum state of perturbations in single and two field inflationary models

Rathul Nath Raveendran, Krishnamohan Parattu, L. Sriramkumar

With the detection of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes, over the last few years, there has been a considerable interest in the literature to understand if these…

Null boundary terms for Lanczos-Lovelock gravity

Sumanta Chakraborty, Krishnamohan Parattu

We derive boundary terms appropriate for the general Lanczos-Lovelock action on a null boundary, when Dirichlet boundary conditions are imposed. We believe that these boundary term…

A Novel Derivation of the Boundary Term for the Action in Lanczos-Lovelock Gravity

Sumanta Chakraborty, Krishnamohan Parattu, T. Padmanabhan

We present a novel derivation of the boundary term for the action in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity, starting from the boundary contribution in the variation of the Lanczos-Lovelock acti…

Variational Principle for Gravity with Null and Non-null boundaries: A Unified Boundary Counter-term

Krishnamohan Parattu, Sumanta Chakraborty, T. Padmanabhan

It is common knowledge that the Einstein-Hilbert action does not furnish a well-posed variational principle. The usual solution to this problem is to add an extra boundary term to…
