The Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture in different frameworks of viable inflation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2021-08-20 v2

Abstract

We review the recently proposed Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture that stems from the Trans-Planckian problem of cosmological perturbations. We analyze the implications and constraints that TCC introduces in different frameworks of viable inflation. We revisit the case of slow-roll scalar field inflation and we investigate the cases of slow-roll f(R)f(R) and f(R,ϕ)f(R,\phi)-gravity. Finally, we consider the conjecture in the context of constant-roll scalar field inflation.
