An introductory account is given of the inflationary cosmology, which postulates a period of accelerated expansion during the Universe's earliest stages. The historical motivation is briefly outlined, and the modelling of the inflationary epoch explained. The most important aspect of inflation is that it provides a possible model for the origin of structure in the Universe, and key results are reviewed, along with a discussion of the current observational situation and outlook.

  1. Guide-Field-mediated Multiscale Instabilities in Relativistic Reconnection

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulations demonstrate non-monotonic guide-field regulation of reconnection efficiency via balance between drift-kink suppression and tearing-mode hindrance in 3D relativistic current sheets.

  2. Cosmological Inflation in f(R,T) Gravity with Chern-Simons Correction

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A slow-roll fit of linear f(R,T) gravity with a Chern-Simons term is tuned to reproduce the Planck 2018 and BK15+BAO inflation observables.

  3. Inflation with Gauss-Bonnet Correction and Higgs Potential

    gr-qc 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    A quartic Higgs-like inflation model with a dilaton-like Gauss-Bonnet coupling reaches nS ≈ 0.973 and r ≈ 3.6×10⁻⁴ at 70 e-folds, within the ACT DR6 bounds, after a hand-tuned parameter scan.
