Inflation from Nilpotent Kähler Corrections
Evan McDonough, Marco Scalisi
We develop a new class of supergravity cosmological models where inflation is induced by terms in the Kähler potential which mix a nilpotent superfield with a chiral sector …

Inflation, Universality and Attractors
Marco Scalisi
In this PhD thesis, we investigate generic features of inflation which are strictly related to fundamental aspects of UV-physics scenarios, such as string theory or supergravity. A…

Moduli Backreaction on Inflationary Attractors
Diederik Roest, Marco Scalisi, Pelle Werkman
We investigate the interplay between moduli dynamics and inflation, focusing on the KKLT-scenario and cosmological -attractors. General couplings between these sectors can induc…
