Journal Article

We develop a consistent analytic approach to determine the conditions under which slow-roll inflation can arise when the inflaton is the same scalar field that is responsible for the bounce in loop quantum cosmology (LQC). We find that the requiremen... Read More about Inflation in loop quantum cosmology.

Dark Energy after GW170817 Revisited (2019)
Journal Article
Copeland, E. J., Kopp, M., Padilla, A., Saffin, P. M., & Skordis, C. (2019). Dark Energy after GW170817 Revisited. Physical Review Letters, 122(6), Article 061301. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.122.061301

We revisit the status of scalar-tensor theories with applications to dark energy in the aftermath of the gravitational wave signal GW170817 and its optical counterpart GRB170817A. At the level of the cosmological background, we identify a class of th... Read More about Dark Energy after GW170817 Revisited.
