A systematic approach to generalisations of General Relativity and their cosmological implications
L Heisenberg - Physics Reports, 2019 - Elsevier
A century ago, Einstein formulated his elegant and elaborate theory of General Relativity,
which has so far withstood a multitude of empirical tests with remarkable success …

Large fluctuations and primordial black holes
In this paper, we review in detail different mechanisms of generation of large primordial
fluctuations and their implications for the production of primordial black holes (PBHs) and …

Galileon inflation evades the no-go for PBH formation in the single-field framework
We consider Galileon inflation in the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework and examine
the possibility for PBH formation during slow roll (SR) to ultra slow roll (USR) transitions. We …

[HTML][HTML] Scalar induced gravity waves from ultra slow-roll Galileon inflation
We consider the production of secondary gravity waves in Galileon inflation with an ultra-

Imperfect dark energy from kinetic gravity braiding
We introduce a large class of scalar-tensor models with interactions containing the second
derivatives of the scalar field but not leading to additional degrees of freedom. These models …
