We propose a new inflation scenario in flux compactification, where a zero mode scalar field of extra components of the higher dimensional gauge field is identified with an inflaton. The scalar field is a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson of…
We develop explicit formulas and algorithms for arithmetic in radical function fields K/k(x) over finite constant fields. First, we classify which places of k(x) whose local integral bases have an easy monogenic form, and give explicit…
An introductory, self-contained overview, with pedagogical figures, is provided to acquaint readers unfamiliar with the subjects with key aspects of de Sitter space and inflation. The connection between de Sitter space and cosmology is…
We discuss compactifications of higher dimensional supergravities which are induced by scalars. In particular, we consider vector multiplets coupled to the supergravity multiplet in the case of D=9, 8 and D=7 minimal supergravities. These…
We study the ramification groups of finite Galois extensions $L/K$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ of equal characteristic $p>0$ with perfect residue field and Galois group isomorphic to the group of unitriangular matrices…
A scalar field with an exponential potential has been proposed as a model of inflation (called power-law inflation). Although it admits an exact solution, the integrability of the system has not been shown.We uncover the hidden symmetries…
We prove that definable ring topologies on NIP fields are closely connected to NIP integral domains. More precisely, we show that up to elementary equivalence, any NIP topological field arises from an NIP integral domain. As an application,…
We show how suitable extensions $(L|K,v)$ of prime degree of valued fields give rise to definable coarsenings of the valuation rings of $L$ and $K$. In the case of Artin-Schreier and Kummer extensions with wild ramification, we can also…
We have constructed a large field N-flation model in the supergravity framework. In this simple set-up, N fields collectively drive inflation where each field traverses sub-Planckian field values. This has been realised with a…
We construct K3 surfaces over number fields that have good reduction everywhere. These do not exists over the rational numbers, by results of Abrashkin and Fontaine. Our surfaces exist for three quadratic number fields, and an infinite…
In this paper we study irreducible unitary representations of GL(n,R) and prove a number of results. Our first result establishes a precise connection between the annihilator of a representation and the existence of degenerate Whittaker…
We generalize Integration-By-Parts (IBP) and differential equations methods to de Sitter correlators related to inflation. While massive correlators in de Sitter spacetime are usually regarded as highly intricate, we find they have…
In this article we extend the test of Hamiltonian Renormalisation proposed in this series of articles to the D-dimensional case using a massive free scalar field. The concepts we introduce are explicitly computed for the D=2 case but…
We study the differential inclusion $Du\in K$, where $K$ is an unbounded and rotationally invariant subset of the real symmetric $3\times 3$ matrices. We exhibit a subset of all possible average fields. The corresponding microgeometries are…
We discuss inflation in models with large extra dimensions, driven by a bulk scalar field. The brane inflaton is then a single effective field, obtained from the bulk scalar field by scaling. The self interaction terms of the effective…
For a large class of integrable quantum field theories we show that the S-matrix determines a space of fields which decomposes into subspaces labeled, besides the charge and spin indices, by an integer k. For scalar fields k is non-negative…
We consider trapped inflation in a higher dimensional field space: particle production at a dense distribution of extra species points leads to a terminal velocity at which inflation can be driven in steep potentials. We compute an…
A k-dissimilarity map on a finite set X is a function D : X \choose k \rightarrow R assigning a real value to each subset of X with cardinality k, k \geq 2. Such functions, also sometimes known as k-way dissimilarities, k-way distances, or…
We calculate 1-loop corrections to the Schwinger-Keldysh propagators of Standard-Model-like fields of spin-0, 1/2, and 1, with all renormalizable interactions during inflation. We pay special attention to the late-time divergences of loop…
Let $F$ be a finitely generated regular field extension of transcendence degree $\geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$. We show that the multiplicative group $F^\times/k^\times$ endowed with the equivalence relation induced by algebraic…
