Quantum initial conditions for curved inflating universes
Mary I. Letey, Zakhar Shumaylov, Fruzsina J. Agocs +3
We discuss the challenges of motivating, constructing, and quantizing a canonically normalized inflationary perturbation in spatially curved universes. We show that this has histor…
Logolinear series expansions with applications to primordial cosmology
Will Handley, Anthony Lasenby, Mike Hobson
We develop a method for computing series expansions for solutions to ordinary differential equations when the asymptotic form contains both linear and logarithmic terms. Such situa…
Towards a framework for testing general relativity with extreme-mass-ratio-inspiral observations
Alvin J. K. Chua, Sonke Hee, Will J. Handley +5
Extreme-mass-ratio-inspiral observations from future space-based gravitational-wave detectors such as LISA will enable strong-field tests of general relativity with unprecedented p…
Novel quantum initial conditions for inflation
W. J. Handley, A. N. Lasenby, M. P. Hobson
We present a novel approach for setting initial conditions on the mode functions of the Mukhanov Sazaki equation. These conditions are motivated by minimisation of the renormalised…
