Corrections to and from high scale physics
Benedict J. Broy
When modelling inflaton fluctuations as a free quantum scalar field, the initial vacuum is conventionally imposed at the infinite past. This is called the Bunch-Davies (BD) vacuum.…
Plateau Inflation from Random Non-Minimal Coupling
Benedict J. Broy, Dries Coone, Diederik Roest
A generic non-minimal coupling can push any higher-order terms of the scalar potential sufficiently far out in field space to yield observationally viable plateau inflation. We pro…
Starobinsky-Type Inflation from -Corrections
Benedict J. Broy, David Ciupke, Francisco G. Pedro +1
Working in the Large Volume Scenario (LVS) of IIB Calabi-Yau flux compactifications, we construct inflationary models from recently computed higher derivative -corrections.…
Pole Inflation - Shift Symmetry and Universal Corrections
Benedict J. Broy, Mario Galante, Diederik Roest +1
An appealing explanation for the Planck data is provided by inflationary models with a singular non-canonical kinetic term: a Laurent expansion of the kinetic function translates i…
