Theoretical implications of detecting gravitational waves
Ghazal Geshnizjani, William H. Kinney
This paper is the third in a series of theorems which state how cosmological observations can provide evidence for an early phase of acceleration in the universe. Previous theorems…
The History of Inflation from Microwave Background Polarimetry and Laser Interferometry
Jerod Caligiuri, Arthur Kosowsky, William H. Kinney +1
A period of inflation in the early universe produces a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of gravitational waves over a huge range in wavelength. If the amplitude of this gravitationa…
Negative running prevents eternal inflation
William H. Kinney, Katherine Freese
Current data from the Planck satellite and the BICEP2 telescope favor, at around the level, negative running of the spectral index of curvature perturbations from inflation.…
Natural Inflation: Consistency with Cosmic Microwave Background Observations of Planck and BICEP2
Katherine Freese, William H. Kinney
Natural inflation is a good fit to all cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and may be the correct description of an early inflationary expansion of the Universe. The large angul…
