Reconstructing the Inflaton Potential---Perturbative Reconstruction to Second Order
Edmund Copeland, Edward W. Kolb, Andrew R. Liddle +1
One method to reconstruct the scalar field potential of inflation is a perturbative approach, where the values of the potential and its derivatives are calculated as an expansion i…
The Inflationary Energy Scale
Andrew R Liddle
The energy scale of inflation is of much interest, as it suggests the scale of grand unified physics and also governs whether cosmological events such as topological defect formati…
Extended Inflation with a Curvature-Coupled Inflaton
Andrew M Laycock, Andrew R Liddle
We examine extended inflation models enhanced by the addition of a coupling between the inflaton field and the space-time curvature. We examine two types of model, where the underl…
Inflation and Mixed Dark Matter Models
Andrew R Liddle, David H Lyth
Recent large scale structure observations, including COBE, have prompted many authors to discuss modifications of the standard Cold Dark Matter model. Two of these, a tilted spectr…
The Cold Dark Matter Density Perturbation
Andrew R Liddle, David H Lyth
This is a review of the Cold Dark Matter model of structure formation, and its variants. The approach is largely from first principles, the main aim being to impart a basic underst…
Perturbation Spectra from Intermediate Inflation
John D Barrow, Andrew R Liddle
We investigate models of `intermediate' inflation, where the scale factor grows as , , constant. These solutions arise as exact analytic…
