    • Achúcarro, Ana; Céspedes, Sebastián; Davis, Anne Christine; Palma, Gonzalo A. (American Physical Society, 2019)
      In holographic inflation, the 4D cosmological dynamics is postulated to be dual to the renormalization group flow of a 3D Euclidean conformal field theory with marginally relevant operators. The scalar potential of the 4D ...
    • Achúcarro, Ana; Atal, Vicente; Germani, Cristiano; Palma Quilodrán, Gonzalo (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)
      In multi-field inflation one or more non-adiabatic modes may become light, potentially inducing large levels of isocurvature perturbations in the cosmic microwave background. If in addition these light modes are coupled ...
    • Achúcarro, Ana; Palma, Gonzalo A.; Wang, Dong-Gang; Welling, Yvette (IOP Publishing, 2020)
      We study the structure of multi-field inflation models where the primordial curvature perturbation is able to vigorously interact with an ultra-light isocurvature field - a massless fluctuation orthogonal to the background ...
    • Achúcarro, Ana; Copeland, Edmund J.; Iarygina, Oksana; Palma Quilodrán, Gonzalo; Wang, Dong-Gang; Welling, Yvette (American Physical Society (APS), 2020)
      We present a new class of two-field inflationary attractor models, known as shift-symmetric orbital inflation, whose behavior is strongly multifield but whose predictions are remarkably close to those of single-field ...
    • Achúcarro, Ana; Palma, Gonzalo A. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
      An important unsolved problem that affects practically all attempts to connect string theory to cosmology and phenomenology is how to distinguish effective field theories belonging to the string landscape from those that ...
