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.

Monopoles as big as a universe

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that, contrary to the standard belief, primordial monopoles expand exponentially during inflation in the new inflationary universe scenario and that inflation of monopoles continues without end even when inflation ends in the surrounding space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds.

TL;DR: A review of the current state of research on the stochastic background of the early universe can be found in this paper, where the authors summarize the sources of these gravitational waves and methods used to observe them.

Inflaton decay in supergravity

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that if the inflaton has a nonzero vacuum expectation value, it generically couples to any matter fields that appear in the superpotential at the tree level, and to any gauge sectors through anomalies in supergravity.

LRS Bianchi type I models with anisotropic dark energy and constant deceleration parameter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type I cosmological models in the presence of dynamically anisotropic dark energy and perfect fluid, where the conservation of the energy-momentum tensor of the DE is assumed to consist of two separately additive conserved parts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamically induced Planck scale and inflation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered agravity as a dimensionless quantum gravity theory finding a multifield inflation that converges towards an attractor trajectory and predicts n ≥ 0.13 for the tensor-to-scalar ratio, which can be reduced down to ≈ 0.04 in the presence of large couplings.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
