Inflationary cosmology is the leading explanation of the very early universe. Many different models of inflation have been constructed which fit current observational data. In this work theoretical and numerical methods for constraining the…
The early Universe inflation is well known as a promising theory to explain the origin of large scale structure of the Universe, a causal theory for the origin of primordial density fluctuations which may explain the observed density…
A theory of evolution for the Universe requires both a mutation mechanism and a selection mechanism. We propose that both can be encountered in the stochastic approach to quantum cosmology. In Brans--Dicke chaotic inflation, the quantum…
According to the Brans--Dicke theory, the value of the gravitational constant G which we measure at present is determined by the value of the Brans--Dicke scalar field \phi at the end of inflation. However, due to quantum fluctuations of…

Observational cosmology provides us with a large number of high precision data which are used to derive models trying to reproduce ``on the mean'' our observable patch of the Universe. Most of these attempts are achieved in the framework of…

Non-linear interactions during inflation generate non-Gaussianities in the distribution of primordial curvature. In many theories, the physics is scale-invariant, such that the induced three-point function depends solely on a dimensionless…
Cosmological local observables are at best statistically determined by the fundamental theory describing inflation. When the scalar inflaton is coupled uniformly to a collection of subdominant massless gauge vectors, rotational invariance…
We investigate the cosmic inflation within a class of the scalar-tensor model with the scalar-dependent non-minimal kinetic couplings. The inflationary dynamical potential will be applied. Using the slow-roll approximation, we compute…
I describe a recently derived stochastic approach to inflaton dynamics which can address some serious problems associated with conventional inflationary theory. Using this theory I derive an exact solution to the stochastic dynamics for the…
The standard field-theoretical approach to the slow-roll inflation is introduced. We then show as, in order to calculate the mean square of the canonical gauge invariant quantum fluctuations associated to a generic field, the logarithm of…
We derive a stochastic wave equation for an inflaton in an environment of an infinite number of fields. We study solutions of the linearized stochastic evolution equation in an expanding universe. The Fokker-Planck equation for the inflaton…
The theory of cosmic inflation has received a great amount of deserved attention in recent years due to it's stunning predictions about the early universe. Alongside the usual cold inflation paradigm, warm inflation has garnered a huge…
We consider the cosmological dynamics associated with volume weighted measures of eternal inflation, in the Bousso-Polchinski model of the string theory landscape. We find that this measure predicts that observers are most likely to find…
We consider a scenario where the strong coupling constant was changing in the early universe. We attribute this change to a variation in the colour charge within a Bekenstein-like model. Treating the vacuum gluon condensate $<G^2>$ as a…
