DOI: 10.1088/1475-7516/2018/01/016
Abstract: The nonlinear interaction between one graviton and two scalars is enhanced in specific inflationary models, potentially leading to distinguishable signatures in the bispectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies. We develop the tools to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.100.043522
Abstract: Future observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization are expected to set an improved upper bound on the tensor-to-scalar ratio of $r\lesssim 0.03$. Recently, we showed that small field models of inflation can produce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s0217732319501311
Abstract: In this paper, construct a toy a model which demonstrates that large field single scalar inflation can produce an arbitrarily small scalar to tensor ratio in the window of e-foldings recoverable from CMB experiments. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/universe3020037
Abstract: In theories where a scalar field couples nonminimally to gravity, the effective gravitational “constant” becomes dependent on the value of the scalar field. This note first gives a brief review on how the cosmological evolution… read more here.

Gauss–Bonnet Inflation and the String Swampland

DOI: 10.3390/universe5090200
Abstract: The swampland criteria are generically in tension with single-field slow-roll inflation because the first swampland criterion requires small tensor-to-scalar ratio while the second swampland criterion requires either large tensor-to-scalar ratio or large scalar spectral tilt.… read more here.
