Bayesian Analysis of Inflation II: Model Selection and Constraints on Reheating
Richard Easther, Hiranya Peiris
We discuss the model selection problem for inflationary cosmology. We couple ModeCode, a publicly-available numerical solver for the primordial perturbation spectra, to the nested…
Oscillons After Inflation
Mustafa A. Amin, Richard Easther, Hal Finkel +2
Oscillons are massive, long-lived, localized excitations of a scalar field. We show that in a large class of well-motivated single-field models, inflation is followed by self-reson…
Constraining holographic inflation with WMAP
Richard Easther, Raphael Flauger, Paul McFadden +1
In a class of recently proposed models, the early universe is strongly coupled and described holographically by a three-dimensional, weakly coupled, super-renormalizable quantum fi…
