Statistics of Anisotropies in Inflation with Spectator Vector Fields
Mikjel Thorsrud, Federico R. Urban, David F. Mota
We study the statistics of the primordial power spectrum in models where massless gauge vectors are coupled to the inflaton, paying special attention to observational implications…

Local Observables in a Landscape of Infrared Gauge Modes
Mikjel Thorsrud, David F. Mota, Federico R. Urban
Cosmological local observables are at best statistically determined by the fundamental theory describing inflation. When the scalar inflaton is coupled uniformly to a collection of…

Quintessence with Kaluza-Klein type couplings to matter and an isotropy-violating vector field
Mikjel Thorsrud
We study the dynamics of a scalar field with Kaluza-Klein type couplings to cold dark matter and an isotropy-violating vector field. The vector coupling, , has been stud…
