A natural combination of the first and second derivatives scalar potential was achieved in a framework an alternative refined de Sitter conjecture recently proposed literature. In this work, we study various inflation models which inflaton is composite field emerging from strongly interacting theories. We then examine if these three can satisfy further refining swampland or not. Regarding our a...

There are effective field theories that cannot be embedded in any UV complete theory. We consider scalar theories, with and without dynamical gravity, $D$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime large radius derive precise bounds (analytically) on the coupling constants of higher derivative interactions $\phi^2\Box^k\phi^2$ by only requiring dual CFT obeys standard conformal bootstrap axioms...

Abstract We investigate theoretical and observational aspects of a warm inflation scenario driven by the $$\beta $$ β -exponential potential, which generalizes well-known power law inflation. In such scenario, decay inflaton field into radiation happens during inflationary phase. our study, we consider dissip...

We analyze AdS and dS swampland conjectures in a three-dimensional higher spin theory with self-interacting matter, which contains conformal gravity is almost topological. A of similar type was proposed as the effective high energy phase non-critical M-theory 3D. With some details differing from usual string story, it found that resulting theory, namely topologically massive gravity, fits well ...
