Gravitational waves from super-Hubble bubbles
Pulkit S. Ghoderao, Arttu Rajantie, Danièle Steer
We consider a cosmological first-order phase transition in which bubbles of true vacuum nucleate during inflation but do not collide and percolate until the Universe has entered th…

Curvature perturbations from vacuum transition during inflation
Björn Garbrecht, Pulkit S. Ghoderao, Arttu Rajantie
We demonstrate that in the presence of a light scalar spectator field, vacuum transitions taking place during inflation can produce large, potentially detectable non-Gaussian signa…
