The rapid-turn inflationary attractor
read the original abstract
We prove the existence of a general class of rapidly turning two-field inflationary attractors. By only requiring a large, slowly varying turn rate, we solve the system completely without specifying any metric or potential, and prove the linear stability of the solution. Several recently studied turning inflation models, including hyperinflation, side-tracked inflation, and a flat field-space model, turn out to be examples of this general class of attractor solutions. Very rapidly turning models are of particular interest since they can be compatible with the swampland conjectures, and we show that the solutions further simplify in this limit.

Orbital Inflation: inflating along an angular isometry of field space
Orbital Inflation reconstructs two-field actions with an angular isometry yielding single-field-like predictions that violate consistency relations and allow f_NL from slow-roll suppressed to O(few) depending on entro...

Dark energy from string theory: an introductory review
String theory imposes constraints on dark energy but permits various construction attempts for de Sitter vacua and single-field exponential quintessence models despite obstructions.
