Imprints of Short Distance Physics On Inflationary Cosmology
Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, William H. Kinney +1
We analyze the impact of certain modifications to short distance physics on the inflationary perturbation spectrum. For the specific case of power-law inflation, we find distinctiv…
Short Distance Physics and the Consistency Relation for Scalar and Tensor Fluctuations in the Inflationary Universe
Lam Hui, William H. Kinney
Recent discussions suggest the possibility that short distance physics can significantly modify the behavior of quantum fluctuations in the inflationary universe, and alter the sta…
Inflation as a Probe of Short Distance Physics
Richard Easther, Brian R. Greene, William H. Kinney +1
We show that a string-inspired Planck scale modification of general relativity can have observable cosmological effects. Specifically, we present a complete analysis of the inflati…
