Gauss-Bonnet-coupled Quintessential Inflation
Carsten van de Bruck, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Chris Longden +1
We study in detail a new model of quintessential inflation where the inflaton field is coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet term. This coupling ensures that the variation of the field is ke…
Non-standard hierarchies of the runnings of the spectral index in inflation
Chris Longden
Recent analyses of cosmic microwave background surveys have revealed hints that there may be a non-trivial running of the running of the spectral index. If future experiments were…
Reheating in Gauss-Bonnet-coupled inflation
Carsten van de Bruck, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Chris Longden
We investigate the feasibility of models of inflation with a large Gauss-Bonnet coupling at late times, which have been shown to modify and prevent the end of inflation. Despite th…
