Tensor Catalyzed Decoherence of Primordial Scalar Fluctuations
C. P. Burgess, D. Dineen, R. Holman +1
We provide the first complete calculation of the leading contribution to the decoherence of primordial fluctuations in the scalar part of the metric fluctuations within simplest, s…

Inflationary Decoherence from the Gravitational Floor
C. P. Burgess, R. Holman, Greg Kaplanek
The paper computes the decoherence rate of primordial quantum fluctuations during inflation using only the minimal gravitational interactions required by the model, establishing a…

Does decoherence violate decoupling?
C. P. Burgess, Thomas Colas, R. Holman +1
Recent calculations in both flat and de Sitter spacetimes have highlighted a tension between the decoupling of high-energy physics from low-energy degrees of freedom and the expect…
