In this paper, we study cosmological perturbations in a modified theory of loop quantum cosmologies, the so-called mLQC-I model. Our purposes are two-fold: First, using a method developed by Birrell and Davies, we identify an initial state…

Inflation in the early Universe is one of the most promising probes of gravity in the high-energy regime. However, observable scales give access to a limited window in the inflationary dynamics. In this essay, we argue that quantum…
A reformulation of inflationary model analyses appeared recently, in which inflationary observables are determined by the structure of a pole in the inflaton kinetic term rather than the shape of the inflaton potential. We comprehensively…
