• Quantum corrections to slow-roll inflation: scalar and tensor modes 

      Andersen, Jens Oluf; Eriksson, Magdalena Britt; Tranberg, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Inflation is often described through the dynamics of a scalar field, slow-rolling in a suitable potential. Ultimately, this inflaton must be identified with the expectation value of a quantum field, evolving in a quantum ...
