On Hybrid Monodromy Inflation (Hic Sunt Dracones)
Nemanja Kaloper, Morgane König, Albion Lawrence +1
We revisit two-field hybrid inflation as an effective field theory for low-scale inflation with sub-Planckian scalar field ranges. We focus on a prototype model by Stewart because…
Existence of Life in 2 + 1 Dimensions
J. H. C. Scargill
There are anthropic reasons to suspect that life in more than three spatial dimensions is not possible, and if the same could be said of fewer than three, then one would have an an…
de Sitter Branes in a Flat Bulk of Massive Gravity
Nemanja Kaloper, James H. C. Scargill
We construct de Sitter branes in a flat bulk of massive gravity in . We find two branches of solutions, reminiscent of the normal and self-accelerating branches in DGP, but wit…
Quantum Cosmic No-Hair Theorem and Inflation
Nemanja Kaloper, James Scargill
We consider implications of the quantum extension of the inflationary no hair theorem. We show that when the quantum state of inflation is picked to ensure the validity of the EFT…
Cosmology with Eddington-inspired Gravity
James H. C. Scargill, Maximo Banados, Pedro G. Ferreira
We study the dynamics of homogeneous, isotropic universes which are governed by the Eddington-inspired alternative theory of gravity which has a single extra parameter, . Previo…
