Our current best guess for a unified theory of gravitation and quantum field theory (string
theory) generically predicts a set of requirements for a consistently quantized theory, the …

Slow-roll inflation and growth of perturbations in Kaniadakis modification of Friedmann cosmology

G Lambiase, GG Luciano, A Sheykhi - The European Physical Journal C, 2023 - Springer
Kaniadakis entropy is a one-parameter deformation of the classical Boltzmann–Gibbs–
Shannon entropy, arising from a self-consistent relativistic statistical theory. Assuming a …

Sound from extra dimensions: Quasinormal modes of a thick brane

Q Tan, WD Guo, YX Liu - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this work, we investigate the quasinormal modes of a thick brane system. Considering the
transverse-traceless tensor perturbation of the brane metric, we obtain the Schrödinger-like …

-attractor inflation: Models and predictions

S Bhattacharya, K Dutta, MR Gangopadhyay… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The α-attractor models are some of the most interesting models of inflation from the point of
view of upcoming observations in cosmology and also attractive from the point of view of …

Paradigm of warm quintessential inflation and production of relic gravity waves

MR Gangopadhyay, S Myrzakul, M Sami, MK Sharma - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We consider the framework of quintessential inflation in the warm background which is
caused by the dissipation of the scalar field energy density into relativistic degrees of …

What is needed of a scalar field if it is to unify inflation and late time acceleration?

N Jaman, M Sami - Galaxies, 2022 - mdpi.com
Quintessential inflation refers to scenarios in which a single scalar field is used to describe
inflation and late time acceleration. This review is dedicated to the framework of …

Production of primordial black holes via single field inflation and observational constraints

MR Gangopadhyay, JC Jain, D Sharma… - The European Physical …, 2022 - Springer
In a class of single field models of inflation, the idea of primordial black holes (PBHs)
production is studied. In this case, the dynamics on small cosmological scales differs …

Reheating in small-field inflation on the brane: the swampland criteria and observational constraints in light of the PLANCK 2018 results

C Osses, N Videla, G Panotopoulos - The European Physical Journal C, 2021 - Springer
We study cosmological inflation and its dynamics in the framework of the Randall–Sundrum
II brane model. In particular, we analyze in detail four representative small-field inflationary …

Characteristic modes of a thick brane: Resonances and quasinormal modes

Q Tan, WD Guo, YP Zhang, YX Liu - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this work, we investigate the gravitational quasinormal modes (QNMs) and the
gravitational resonances of a thick brane model. We use the asymptotic iteration and …
