Taming the alpha-vacuum
Hael Collins, R. Holman
An interacting scalar field theory in de Sitter space is non-renormalizable for a generic alpha-vacuum state. This pathology arises since the usual propagator used allows for a con…

Decoupling, Trans-Planckia and Inflation
C. P. Burgess, J. Cline, F. Lemieux +1
We survey recent calculations probing what constraints decoupling can put on the influence of very-high-energy physics on the predictions of inflation for the cosmic microwave back…

Effective Field Theories and Inflation
C. P. Burgess, J. Cline, R. Holman
We investigate the possible influence of very-high-energy physics on inflationary predictions focussing on whether effective field theories can allow effects which are parametrical…
