If the inflationary era is preceded by a radiation dominated era in which the inflaton too was in thermal equilibrium at some very early time then the CMB data places an upper bound on the comoving temperature of the (decoupled) inflaton quanta. In addition, if one considers models of "just enough" inflation, where the number of e-foldings of inflation is just enough to solve the horizon and flatness problems, then we get a lower bound on the Hubble parameter during inflation, \$H_{\rm inf…

• Physics

We investigate the primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) in the general scenario where the inflation is preceded by a pre-inflationary stage with the effective equation of state w. Comparing with the

An investigation is undertaken into the properties and effects of a pre-inflationary era during at least part of which semiclassical gravity was valid. It is argued that if the Universe (or our part

Abstract Motivated by the old trans-Planckian (TP) problem of inflationary cosmology, it has been conjectured that any consistent effective field theory should keep TP modes ‘hidden’ behind the

We propose yet another solution to the initial condition problem of inflation associated with homogeneity beyond the horizon at the onset of inflation, in cases where inflation is preceded by a

### Warm bounce in loop quantum cosmology and the prediction for the duration of inflation

• Physics
• 2020
We study and estimate probabilistic predictions for the duration of the preinflationary and slow-roll phases after the bounce in loop quantum cosmology, determining how the presence of radiation in

### Reheating Temperature from D-Term Cosmological Inflation Braneworld

• Physics
• 2019
The D-term inflation in supergravity, in the braneworld Randall Sundrum II (RSII) context, has been proposed to solve some problems related to the four-dimensional inflation model. That scenario is

In this paper, we would like to obtain the effect of the quantum backreaction on inflationary Starobinsky cosmology in spatially flat D-dimensional Friedmann–Robertson–Walker universe. For this

Pre-inflationary dynamics is known to have left observable imprints via the varied dynamics of the inflaton and the graviton fields during those epochs. It is highlighted here that other particle
