The latest Planck results show a power deficit in the temperature anisotropies near $\ell \approx 20$ in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This observation can hardly be explained within the standard inflationary $\Lambda$-cold-dark-matter ($\Lambda$CDM) scenario. In this paper we consider a string theory inspired inflationary model (axion monodromy inflation) with a step-like modulation in the potential which gives rise to observable signatures in the primordial perturbations. One…

### Low-ℓ power suppression in punctuated inflation

• Physics
• 2017
Motivated by Planck confirmation of an anomalously low value of the CMB temperature fluctuations up to multipole ℓ < 40, we in this paper try to explain such feature by investigating case of

### New model of axion monodromy inflation and its cosmological implications

• Physics
• 2014
We propose a new realization of axion monodromy inflation in which axion monodromy arises from torsional cycles in a type IIB compactification. A class of monomial potentials is obtained with

### Constraints on inflation with LSS surveys: features in the primordial power spectrum

• Physics
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
• 2018
We analyse the efficiency of future large scale structure surveys to unveil the presence of scale dependent features in the primordial spectrum—resulting from cosmic inflation—imprinted in the

### Amplification of primordial perturbations from the rise or fall of the inflaton

The next generation of cosmic microwave background, gravitational wave, and large scale structure, experiments will provide an unprecedented opportunity to probe the primordial power spectrum on

### Large angular scale CMB anisotropy from an excited initial mode

• Physics
• 2015
According to inflationary cosmology, the CMB anisotropy gives an opportunity to test predictions of new physics hypotheses. The initial state of quantum fluctuations is one of the important options

### Low-ℓ CMB from string-scale SUSY breaking?

Models of inflation are instructive playgrounds for supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking in Supergravity and String Theory. In particular, combinations of branes and orientifolds that are not mutually BPS

### Consistency relations for sharp inflationary non-Gaussian features

• Physics
• 2016
If cosmic inflation suffered tiny time-dependent deviations from the slow-roll regime, these would induce the existence of small scale-dependent features imprinted in the primordial spectra, with

### Consistency relations for sharp features in the primordial spectra

• Physics
• 2015
We study the generation of sharp features in the primordial spectra within the framework of effective field theory of inflation, wherein curvature perturbations are the consequence of the dynamics of
