TLDR
A new inflationary universe scenario is suggested in this paper, which is free of the shortcomings of the previous one and provides a possible solution of the horizon, flatness, homogeneity and isotropy problems in cosmology.

Reheating in Inflationary Cosmology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss recent developments in the theory of preheating based on the work which I have done in collaboration with Lev Kofman and Alexei Starobinsky and Patrick Greene [2, 3, 4, 5].
Journal ArticleDOI

Connecting neutrino physics with dark matter

TL;DR: The origin of neutrino masses and the nature of dark matter are two of the most pressing open questions in modern astro-particle physics as discussed by the authors, and some theoretical scenarios which offer common solutions.

On the initial conditions for super-exponential inflation

TL;DR: In a higher-dimensional theory of gravity containing higher-derivative terms and a cosmological constant, a period of superexponential inflation of the physical spacetime is possible, during which the Hubble parameter H increases with time.

Brane world cosmologies with varying speed of light

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the case in which the speed of light varies with time after the radion or the scale of the extra dimension has been stabilized, and the conditions under which the atness problem and the cosmological constant problem can be resolved.

Revising the Predictions of Inflation for the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies

TL;DR: It is pointed out that, if quantum field renormalization is taken into account and the counterterms are evaluated at the Hubble-radius crossing time or few e-foldings after it, the predictions of slow-roll inflation for both the scalar and the tensorial power spectrum change significantly.

Unity of All Elementary Particle Forces

TL;DR: In this paper, strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces are conjectured to arise from a single fundamental interaction based on the gauge group SU(5), which is known as SU(4).

Decay of the false vacuum at finite temperature

TL;DR: In this article, a general theory of the decay of the metastable phase (false vacuum) at a finite temperature is developed, which will make it possible to study kinetics of phase transitions in a wide class of theories without complicated computer calculations.

Phase transitions in gauge theories and cosmology

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that at a sufficiently large temperature a phase transition takes place after which almost all elementary particles in the hot super-dense matter become massless and weak interactions become long-range like electromagnetic interactions.
