Inflation: Where Do We Stand?
Jerome Martin
In this short review, the predictions of inflation are presented and compared to the most recent measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy. It is argued that…
Birefringent Gravitational Waves and the Consistency Check of Inflation
Stephon Alexander, Jerome Martin
In this work we show that the gravitational Chern-Simons term, aside from being a key ingredient in inflationary baryogenesis, modifies super-horizon gravitational waves produced d…
Back-Reaction and the Trans-Planckian Problem of Inflation Revisited
Robert H. Brandenberger, Jerome Martin
It has recently been suggested that Planck scale physics may effect the evolution of cosmological fluctuations in the early stages of cosmological inflation in a non-trivial way, l…
Stochastic Quintessence
Jerome Martin, Marcello A. Musso
The behavior of the quintessence field is studied during inflation. In order to have a satisfactory model of dark energy, the quintessence field value today should be as insensible…
Reply to "Bouncing Universes and their perturbations: remarks on a toy model"
Jerome Martin, Patrick Peter
In this web note, we reply to a recent paper, gr-qc/0404126, confirming a previous work of ours in which a cosmological bouncing phase was shown to have the ability of modifying th…
Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations of Quantum-Mechanical Origin
Jerome Martin
This review article aims at presenting the theory of inflation. We first describe the background spacetime behavior during the slow-roll phase and analyze how inflation ends and th…
Exploring the Superimposed Oscillations Parameter Space
Jerome Martin, Christophe Ringeval
The space of parameters characterizing an inflationary primordial power spectrum with small superimposed oscillations is explored using Monte Carlo methods. The most interesting re…
On the properties of the transition matrix in bouncing cosmologies
Jerome Martin, Patrick Peter
We elaborate further on the evolution properties of cosmological fluctuations through a bounce. We show this evolution to be describable either by ``transmission'' and ``reflection…
Propagating Cosmological Perturbations in a Bouncing Universe
Patrick Peter, Jerome Martin
Using the simplest model for a bouncing universe, namely that for which gravity is described by pure general relativity, the spatial sections are positively curved and the matter c…
Addendum to "Superimposed Oscillations in the WMAP Data?"
Jerome Martin, Christophe Ringeval
We elaborate further on the possibility that the inflationary primordial power spectrum contains superimposed oscillations. We study various effects which could influence the calcu…
