abstract

We present a new model of inflation in which the inflaton is the extra component of a gauge field in a 5d theory compactified on a circle. The chief merit of this model is that the potential comes only from non-local effects so that its flatness is not spoiled by higher dimensional operators or quantum gravity corrections. The model predicts a red spectrum (n ~ 0.96) and a significant production of gravitational waves (r ~ 0.11). We also comment on the relevance of this idea to quintessence.

Axions on de Sitter space

hep-th · 2026-06-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantization of axions on dS_D yields Hilbert space H = L^2(S^1) ⊗ F with zero-mode U(1) charge, producing non-dS-invariant charged sectors and Hadamard Wightman functions that become asymptotically invariant.

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.
