It has become standard practice to take the logarithmic growth of the scale factor as a measure of the amount of inflation, despite the well-known fact that this is only an approximation for the true amount of inflation required to solve…
We describe an induced inflation, which refers to a class of inflationary models with a generalized non-minimal coupling $\xi g(\phi) R$ and a specific scalar potential. The defining property of these models is that the scalar field takes a…
Recently a broad class of superconformal inflationary models was found leading to a universal observational prediction $n_s=1-2/N$ and $r=12/N^2$. Here we generalize this class of models by introducing a parameter $\alpha$ inversely…
Recent observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies combined with large-scale structure may point towards higher values of the scalar spectral index, $n_s$. This puts previously preferred inflationary models, such as…
By studying the chameleon model during inflation, we investigate whether it can be a successful inflationary model, wherein we employ the common typical potential usually used in the literature. Thus, in the context of the slow-roll…
We study a supergravity model of inflation essentially depending on one parameter which can be identified with the slope of the potential at the origin. In this type of models the inflaton rolls at high energy from negative values and a…
We study generalized two-field $\alpha$-attractor models whose rescaled scalar manifold is the triply-punctured sphere endowed with its complete hyperbolic metric, whose underlying complex manifold is the modular curve $Y(2)$. Using an…
We show explicitly how the T model, E model, and Hilltop inflations are obtained from the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with arbitrary conformal factors in the strong coupling limit. We argue that $\xi$ attractors can give any…
Warm inflation is, as of today, one of the best motivated mechanisms for explaining an early inflationary period. In this paper, we derive and analyze the current bounds on warm inflation with a monomial potential $U\propto \phi^p$, using…
Inspired by the Generalized Proca Theory, we study a vector-tensor model of inflation with massive vector fields and derivative self-interactions. The action under consideration contains a usual Maxwell-like kinetic term, a general…
Transforming canonical scalars to the Einstein frame can give a multi-field generalization of pole inflation (namely, a scalar with a divergent kinetic term) at vanishing field-dependent Planck mass. However, to obtain an attractor, the…
The Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology is analyzed with a general potential $\rm V(\phi)$ in the scalar field inflation scenario. The Bohmian approach (a WKB-like formalism) was employed in order to constraint a generic form of…
In the present paper, we perform a sub-Planckian quantum mode analysis of linear cosmological perturbation in the inflaton field over a classical quasi de-Siter metric background by dynamical horizon exit (DHE) method. In this way, we probe…
We show explicitly how the E model attractor is obtained from the general scalar-tensor theory of gravity with arbitrary conformal factors in the strong coupling limit. By using conformal transformations, any attractor with the observables…
We consider a broad class of inflationary models that arise naturally in supergravity. They are defined in terms of a parameter $\alpha$ that determines the curvature and cutoff of these models. As a function of this parameter, we exhibit…
A plethora of inflationary models can produce interesting small-scale phenomenology, such as enhanced scalar fluctuations leading to primordial black hole (PBH) production and large scalar-induced GW. Nevertheless, good models must…
We obtain exact solutions for the Einstein equations with an exponential-potential scalar field (\(V=\Lambda e^{k\phi}\)) which represent simple inhomogeneous generalizations of Bianchi I cosmologies. Studying these equations numerically we…
We show that a combination of the simplest $\alpha$-attractors and KKLTI models related to Dp-brane inflation covers most of the area in the ($n_{s}$, $r$) space favored by Planck 2018. For $\alpha$-attractor models, there are discrete…
In this work we shall study the implications of a subclass of $E$-models cosmological attractors, namely of $a$-attractors, on hydrodynamically stable slowly rotating neutron stars. Specifically, we shall present the Jordan frame theory of…
We present a simple procedure to obtain universal bounds for quantities of cosmological interest, such as the number of $e$-folds during inflation, reheating, and radiation, as well as the reheating temperature. The main assumption is to…
