CMBPol Mission Concept Study Probing Ination with CMB Polarization
- D. Baumann, M. Jackson, +56 authors M. Zaldarriaga
- Physics
- 24 November 2008
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of ination. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measurements
TASI Lectures on Inflation
- W. Kinney
- Physics
- 9 February 2009
This series of lectures gives a pedagogical review of the subject of cosmological inflation. I discuss Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology and the horizon and flatness problems of the standard hot… Expand
Inflation: Flow, fixed points and observables to arbitrary order in slow roll
- W. Kinney
- Physics
- 3 June 2002
I generalize the inflationary flow equations of Hoffman and Turner to arbitrary order in slow roll. This makes it possible to study the predictions of slow roll inflation in the full observable… Expand
Probing inflation with CMB polarization
- D. Baumann, M. Jackson, +56 authors M. Zaldarriaga
- Physics
- 23 June 2008
We summarize the utility of precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements as probes of the physics of inflation. We focus on the prospects for using CMB measurements to… Expand
The Zoo Plot Meets the Swampland: Mutual (In)Consistency of Single-Field Inflation, String Conjectures, and Cosmological Data
- W. Kinney, S. Vagnozzi, L. Visinelli
- Physics
- 20 August 2018
We consider single-field inflation in light of string-motivated "swampland" conjectures suggesting that effective scalar field theories with a consistent UV completion must have field excursion… Expand
Measuring the cosmological bulk flow using the peculiar velocities of supernovae
- D. Dai, W. Kinney, D. Stojkovic
- Physics
- 3 February 2011
We study large-scale coherent motion in our universe using the existing Type IA supernovae data. If the recently observed bulk flow is real, then some imprint must be left on supernovae motion. We… Expand
Eternal Inflation and the Refined Swampland Conjecture.
- W. Kinney
- Mathematics, Physics
- Physical review letters
- 28 November 2018
I apply recently proposed "swampland" conjectures to eternal inflation in single-scalar field theories. Eternal inflation is a phase of infinite self-reproduction of a quasi-de Sitter universe which… Expand
Inflation model constraints from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe three-year data
- W. Kinney, E. Kolb, A. Melchiorri, A. Riotto
- Physics
- 13 May 2006
We extract parameters relevant for distinguishing among single-field inflation models from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) three-year data set, and also from WMAP in combination with… Expand
The Phantom Bounce: A New Proposal for an Oscillating Cosmology
- K. Freese, Matthew G. Brown, W. Kinney
- Physics
- 19 February 2008
An oscillating universe cycles through a series of expansions and contractions. We propose a model in which phantom energy with a supernegative pressure (p) grows rapidly and dominates the late-time… Expand
Inflation as a probe of short distance physics
- R. Easther, B. Greene, W. Kinney, G. Shiu
- Physics
- 11 April 2001
We show that a string-inspired Planck scale modification of general relativity can have observable cosmological effects. Specifically, we present a complete analysis of the inflationary perturbation… Expand
