Attempts at building an unified description of the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions usually involve several stages of spontaneous symmetry breaking. We consider the effects of such symmetry breaking during an era of primordial inflation in supergravity models. In cases that these occur along flat directions at intermediate scales there will be a succession of short bursts of inflation which leave a distinctive signature in the spectrum of the generated scalar density perturbation. Thus measurements of the spectral index can directly probe the structure of unified theories at very high energy scales. An observed feature in the power spectrum of galaxy clustering from the APM survey may well be associated with such structure. If so, this implies a characteristic suppression of the secondary Doppler peaks in the angular power spectrum of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.

  1. The End of the First Act: Spectral Running, Interacting Dark Radiation, and the Hubble Tension in Light of ACT DR6 Data

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Including spectral running α_s, β_s and self-interacting dark radiation relaxes the ACT DR6 bound on ΔN_eff to <0.58 and lowers the Hubble tension to 2.2σ with three extra parameters.

  2. Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    In multi-stage axion monodromy inflation, an interruption 50–52 efolds before the end of inflation produces a narrow gravitational-wave background peaked at ~10–300 kHz, at strains near proposed detector sensitivities.
