Quantum Gravity Slows Inflation
read the original abstract
We consider the quantum gravitational back-reaction on an initially inflating, homogeneous and isotropic universe whose topology is $T^3 \times \Re$. Although there is no secular effect at one loop, an explicit calculation shows that two-loop processes act to slow the rate of expansion by an amount which becomes non-perturbatively large at late times. By exploiting Feynman's tree theorem we show that all higher loops act in the same sense.

Multi-soft theorems for cosmological correlators: Background wave method for scalars & gravitons
Tree-level multi-soft theorems for scalar and graviton correlation functions are derived at leading soft order via background-wave coordinate rescaling, including tensor exchanges in scalars and scalar exchanges in tensors.

Holographic complexity of conformal fields in global de Sitter spacetime
Holographic complexity of CFTs in global dS_d is computed via volume and action prescriptions in AdS foliation and brane setups, then compared to results from static and Poincare patches.

Quantum-Deformed Phase-Space Geometry and Emergent Inflation in Effective Four-Dimensional Spacetime
Quantum deformation of projective phase-space geometry induces a conformally deformed FLRW metric whose time-dependent corrections modify inflationary background equations, slow-roll parameters, and perturbations in a...
