Bubble collisions in a seesaw model produce right-handed neutrinos that source novel gravitational waves detectable by LISA, ET, and LVK while allowing the lightest RHN to explain dark matter or enable leptogenesis.
Right-handed neutrino loops in inflation with seesaw mechanism generate enhanced cosmological collider signatures via a chemical potential from a dimension-5 operator, softening Boltzmann suppression and amplifying oscillatory non-Gaussianity for the dominant helicity mode.
Tensor perturbations from first-order phase transitions and domain wall annihilation induce curvature fluctuations at second order that form primordial black holes, allowing asteroid-mass PBHs to comprise all dark matter for specific parameter ranges with associated gravitational wave peaks in LISA,
Unified tree-level bispectrum shapes for cosmological collider processes are computed and searched in Planck data, yielding no detection but a weak hint for chemical potential extensions at ω - M ≃ 3H.
The equilateral bispectrum from massive scalar exchange in inflation is not universally negative in the full EFT of inflation; its sign depends on a critical ratio of operator coefficients.
Electroweak SU(2)_L doublet fermion dark matter with mass above 10^10 GeV (or 300 GeV if pseudo-Dirac) is produced by Boltzmann-suppressed freeze-in above the reheat temperature and evades direct detection while never thermalizing.
Non-minimal coupling of the inflaton to the Holst invariant in metric-affine gravity induces quasi-pole kinetics that generate an exponential plateau potential and Starobinsky-equivalent predictions regardless of the bare potential.
Nonminimal derivative coupling realizes the Harrison-Zeldovich attractor for monomial, hilltop, and α-attractor E-models, pulling them to the scale-invariant spectrum suggested by ACT data.
No evidence for primordial hotspots in Planck polarization data leads to improved bounds on inflationary particle production couplings for light particles.
Inflaton accretion during reheating drives non-linear PBH mass growth that extends lifetimes and amplifies emitted SGWB by multiple orders of magnitude.
Perturbative inflaton decay emits an irreducible stochastic GW background with Ω_GW ∝ f spectrum whose amplitude is set by the hard decay rate and reaches O(10^{-17}) at GHz scales.
Updated constraints on neutrino-sustained primordial vector modes imply magnetic fields too weak to seed observations and cannot reproduce the EB power spectrum while satisfying parity-even limits.
Single-field inflation with ε(N) approaching a constant in (0,1) at early times forms an asymptotic universality class with a Weyl-flat null origin while producing ns and r values compatible with Planck data.
Genetic algorithm reconstructs single-field inflationary models with features in the scalar power spectrum that fit Planck 2018 CMB data better by Δχ² ≲ -10 and suggest alternative background parameters.
Two NILC extensions—one deprojecting foreground moments and one marginalizing residuals at the likelihood level—yield unbiased r estimates and consistent lensing B-mode reconstruction in SO-SAT-like simulations.
An R^3 modification to R^2-Higgs inflation fits the high n_s by inducing Goldstone preheating that reconciles CMB and inflationary energy scales.
Curvaton coupling relaxes initial tuning in hilltop inflation and revives the sub-Planckian quartic model while remaining consistent with cosmological observations.
A parameterized slow-roll model and a new exponential f(R) inflation model are constrained by P-ACT-LB-BK18 data, with the latter aligning to the ACT scalar spectral index preference in both standard and EDE frameworks.
Lattice simulations show that the post-inflationary equation of state with trilinear interactions returns to zero after an initial deviation, substantially lowering stochastic gravitational wave amplitudes relative to prior estimates.
Non-Bunch-Davies initial conditions substantially improve the fit of various single-field slow-roll inflation models to updated n_s-r constraints from ACT DR6 combined with Planck, DESI, and BICEP/Keck data.
Phase transitions in dark sectors can generate CMB B-modes with amplitudes competitive with inflation but peaking at smaller angular scales.
Kaniadakis entropic cosmology modifies early-universe dynamics and is constrained by its predictions for Starobinsky inflation and the primordial tensor spectrum using current CMB and gravitational-wave observations.
Recent CMB datasets tighten 95% CL upper bounds on vector-mode amplitude r_v to 1.3e-4 (neutrino isocurvature), 6.8 (octupole), and 4.2 (sourced) at k=0.05 Mpc^-1, with no significant detection.
