Stochastic non-attractor inflation

Hassan Firouzjahi, Amin Nassiri-Rad, Mahdiyar Noorbala

We extend the formalism of stochastic inflation to the setup of non-attractor inflation with a sound speed . We obtain the Langevin equations for the superhorizon perturbation…

Boundary Crossing in Stochastic Inflation with Critical Number of Fields

Mahdiyar Noorbala, Hassan Firouzjahi

We study boundary crossing probability in the context of stochastic inflation. We prove that for a generic multi-field inflationary potential, the probability that the inflaton rea…

Stochastic Ultra Slow Roll Inflation

Hassan Firouzjahi, Amin Nassiri-Rad, Mahdiyar Noorbala

We study the ultra slow roll model in the context of stochastic inflation. Using stochastic formalism, we calculate the mean number of -folds, the power spectrum, the bispe…

Tunneling in Stochastic Inflation

Mahdiyar Noorbala, Vincent Vennin, Hooshyar Assadullahi +2

The relative probability to decay towards different vacua during inflation is studied. The calculation is performed in single-field slow-roll potentials using the stochastic inflat…

Is conserved along light path?

Mahdiyar Noorbala, Reza Sepehrinia

Snell's law states that the quantity is unchanged in refraction of light passing from one medium to another. We inquire whether this is true in the general case where the…

QED without Gauge Fields

Mahdiyar Noorbala

We begin by studying a very simple Hamiltonian for Maxwell's equations that has no gauge fields and is made entirely of the electromagnetic fields. We then show that this theory ca…
