Inflation offers a simple model for very early evolution of our Universe and the origin of primordial perturbations on large scales. Over the last 25 years we have become familiar with the predictions of single-field models, but inflation with more than one light scalar field can alter preconceptions about the inflationary dynamics and our predictions for the primordial perturbations. I will discuss how future observational data could distinguish between inflation driven by one field, or many fields. As an example, I briefly review the curvaton as an alternative to the inflaton scenario for the origin of structure.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Fibre Inflation, spectator axions with f≲0.1 M_Pl leave the PBH power spectrum unchanged, while for f≳0.1 M_Pl and exponentially small non-perturbative prefactors they can raise P_R from 1.9e-4 to 3.5e-3 and enable...

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Negative field-space curvature enhances post-inflationary Ricci scalar oscillations and boosts CGPP dark matter number density by up to an order of magnitude relative to flat field-space cases, with nontrivial relic a...

  4. Post-inflationary enhancement of adiabatic perturbations in modular cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In modular inflation models, entropic perturbations frozen during inflation are converted into curvature perturbations after inflation, producing an enhanced power spectrum while preserving the spectral index ns.

  5. Tachyonic Encore: A universal shift of inflationary observables

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A light axion spectator induces post-inflation tachyonic phases that produce a nearly scale-invariant boost to the curvature power spectrum and alter key inflationary observables in a largely potential-independent manner.

  6. Cosmological perturbations of TDiff fields

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    This work constructs perturbation theory for TDiff scalar fields in cosmology, analyzes pressure perturbations and adiabaticity including multi-field interaction effects, and checks stability via effective sound speed.

  7. Noncanonical Approaches To Inflation

    gr-qc 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    A review thesis covering Mukhanov parametrization, general scalar-tensor theories, and new slow-roll techniques for canonical and noncanonical inflation observables.
