abstract

Inflation offers a simple model for very early evolution of our Universe and the origin of primordial perturbations on large scales. Over the last 25 years we have become familiar with the predictions of single-field models, but inflation with more than one light scalar field can alter preconceptions about the inflationary dynamics and our predictions for the primordial perturbations. I will discuss how future observational data could distinguish between inflation driven by one field, or many fields. As an example, I briefly review the curvaton as an alternative to the inflaton scenario for the origin of structure.

Isocurvature Induced Gravitational Waves at Pulsar Timing Arrays

astro-ph.CO · 2025-12-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The work shows that free-streaming dark radiation isocurvature produces a qualitatively different gravitational wave spectrum than cold dark matter isocurvature and derives constraints on isocurvature power spectra around 10^6 Mpc^{-1} from NANOGrav data.

First-order thermodynamics of multi-scalar-tensor gravity

gr-qc · 2026-04-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Multi-scalar-tensor gravity admits an exact covariant thermodynamic interpretation as an imperfect fluid whose heat flux involves a coupling-derived factor χ and a residual gradient sector, yielding multi-field thermal diagnostics and a GR-attractor criterion that is stricter than simple freezing of

Cosmological perturbations of TDiff fields

gr-qc · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

This work constructs perturbation theory for TDiff scalar fields in cosmology, analyzes pressure perturbations and adiabaticity including multi-field interaction effects, and checks stability via effective sound speed.

Noncanonical Approaches To Inflation

gr-qc · 2019-06-21 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
