The power of a good idea: Quantitative modeling of the spread of ideas from epidemiological models
Luís M. A. Bettencourt,Ariel Cintrón-Arias,Ariel Cintrón-Arias,David Kaiser,Carlos Castillo-Chavez,Carlos Castillo-Chavez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply several paradigmatic models of epidemics to empirical data on the advent and spread of Feynman diagrams through the theoretical physics communities of the USA, Japan, and the USSR in the period immediately after World War II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonperturbative Dynamics Of Reheating After Inflation: A Review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the current understanding of the nonperturbative, nonlinear dynamics at the end of inflation, some salient features of realistic particle physics models of reheating, and how the universe reaches a thermal state before BBN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primordial spectral indices from generalized Einstein theories
TL;DR: Primordial spectral indices are calculated to second order in slow-roll parameters for three closely related models of inflation, all of which contain a scalar field nonminimally coupled to the Ricci curvature scalar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifield Inflation after Planck: The Case for Nonminimal Couplings
TL;DR: Multifield models of inflation with nonminimal couplings are in excellent agreement with the recent results from Planck and can amplify isocurvature perturbations, which could account for the low power recently observed in the cosmic microwave background power spectrum at low multipoles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the development of American postwar physics by focusing on the ways young physicists learned new calculational skills, using the Feynman diagrams as a means to explore their development.
