We study an inflationary scenario with a vector field coupled with an inflaton field and show that the inflationary universe is endowed with anisotropy for a wide range of coupling functions. This anisotropic inflation is a tracking solution where the energy density of the vector field follows that of the inflaton field irrespective of initial conditions. We find a universal relation between the anisotropy and a slow-roll parameter of inflation. Our finding has observational implications and gives a counter example to the cosmic no-hair conjecture.

  1. Dynamical systems analysis of an Einstein-Cartan ekpyrotic nonsingular bounce cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    An Einstein-Cartan ekpyrotic model with a steep-to-plateau scalar potential supports a torsion-driven nonsingular bounce in homogeneous contraction without chaotic behavior in the explored parameter space.

  2. A no-go theorem in bumblebee vector-tensor cosmology

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Bumblebee gravity with non-minimal couplings is healthy only under the degeneracy σ=-ξ/2, which fixes the potential and yields a stealth de Sitter solution with scalar sound speed squared ≈1/6.

  3. HBT Interferometry and Quantum Nature of Primordial Gravitational Waves in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz Gravity

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Hořava-Lifshitz gravity, primordial gravitational waves can be generated without inflation and their nonclassical statistics might be detectable by HBT interferometry above about 10 kHz in the radiation era or 10^-...

  4. Scalar-induced gravitational waves from inflation with symmetry breaking

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Late gauge-field excitation in charged symmetry-breaking inflation pushes enhanced SIGWs into the GHz band, where longitudinal and charge-mixing parameters reshape the spectrum in opposite, distinguishable ways.

  5. Misalignment production of isotropized vector dark matter?

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Kinetic-coupling misalignment of an isotropized multi-vector condensate cannot produce dark matter: non-Gaussianity and isocurvature constraints exclude the viable parameter space in both weak- and strong-mixing regimes.

  6. Inflation with vector fields revisited: non-Gaussianities

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In kinetically coupled vector inflation, the bispectrum in the large-h regime exhibits competing local and flattened non-Gaussian signals with distinct h scalings that distinguish vector-supported dynamics.

  7. Power-law Bianchi type I inflation with multiple vector fields

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Exact power-law Bianchi type I inflationary solutions are found for one scalar field coupled to up to three vector fields, with stability governed by the relative sizes of the gauge-coupling exponents.

  8. Kaluza-Klein inspired a model of the inflation with the inversed power law potential in Bianchi type-I universe

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    For a Kaluza-Klein inspired vector-scalar model in Bianchi type-I with inverse power-law potential, center manifold theory shows the isotropic scalar-dominated point E is a stable attractor, supporting isotropization.

  9. Anisotropic power-law inflation for the S\'aez-Ballester theory non-minimally coupled to a vector field

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A stable anisotropic inflationary solution exists in the Saez-Ballester theory, but it is equivalent to the known Kanno-Soda-Watanabe solution and has a too-large tensor-to-scalar ratio.
