Euclid: Validation of the MontePython forecasting tools
Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Richard Massey
Context. The Euclid mission of the European Space Agency will perform a survey of weak lensing cosmic shear and galaxy clustering in order to constrain cosmological models and fundamental physics. Aims. We expand and adjust the mock Euclid likelihoods of t ...
Les Ulis Cedex A2024Coupling metric-affine gravity to a Higgs-like scalar field
General relativity (GR) exists in different formulations. They are equivalent in pure gravity but generically lead to distinct predictions once matter is included. After a brief overview of various versions of GR, we focus on metric-affine gravity, which a ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2022Preheating in Palatini Higgs inflation on the lattice
Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric, Adrien Florio
We study preheating following Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity. We numerically evolve perturbations of the radial mode of the Higgs field and that of three scalars modeling the gauge bosons. We compare the two non-perturbative mechani ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2022Higgs inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity
Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell
We study inflation driven by the Higgs field in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity. In this theory, the presence of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms with the Higgs field non-minimally coupled to them leads to three additional coupling constants. For a ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Generation of an electromagnetic field nonminimally coupled to gravity during Higgs inflation
In the framework of Higgs inflation, we consider the electromagnetic field nonminimally coupled to gravity via the parity-preserving proportional to RF2 and parity-violating proportional to RF (F) over tilde terms. Using the perturbation theory to the lead ...
2021Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings
A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2021Magnetogenesis In Natural Inflation Model
We study the process of inflationary magnetogenesis in the natural single-field inflation model, whose parameters are chosen in accordance with the recent observations by the Planck collaboration [1]. The conformal invariance of the Maxwell action is broke ...
