Direct FEM-Domain Decomposition Using Convex-to-Concave Spherical Ports for Space Applications

Juan Ramon Mosig, Javier Rubio, Pedro Robustillo Bayon

This letter proposes the application of a hybrid numerical technique to two cases of interest in the space business: the reallocation of radiators and scatters on satellite platforms; and the analysis of antennas for mobile communications. It is based on t ...

On the geometrical interpretation of scale-invariant models of inflation

Javier Rubio, Georgios Karananas

We study the geometrical properties of scale-invariant two-field models of inflation. In particular, we show that when the field-derivative space in the Einstein frame is maximally symmetric during inflation, the inflationary predictions can be universal a ...

Combined preheating on the lattice with applications to Higgs inflation

Joël Repond, Javier Rubio

We use classical lattice simulations in 3+1 dimensions to study the interplay between the resonant production of particles during preheating and the subsequent decay of these into a set of secondary species. We choose to work in a simplified version of Hig ...

Higgs inflation and vacuum stability

Javier Rubio

Inflation is nowadays a well-established paradigm consistent with all the observations. The precise nature of the inflaton is however unknown and its role could be played by any candidate able to imitate a scalar condensate in the slow-roll regime. The dis ...

Living beyond the edge: Higgs inflation and vacuum metastability

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Javier Rubio

The measurements of the Higgs mass and top Yukawa coupling indicate that we live in a very special universe, at the edge of the absolute stability of the electroweak vacuum. If fully stable, the Standard Model (SM) can be extended all the way up to the inf ...

Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Universality versus criticality

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Javier Rubio

The Higgs-Dilaton model is able to produce an early inflationary expansion followed by a dark energy dominated era responsible for the late time acceleration of the Universe. At tree level, the model predicts a small tensor-to-scalar ratio (0.0021

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: An effective field theory approach

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Javier Rubio, Georgios Karananas

The Higgs-dilaton cosmological model is able to describe simultaneously an inflationary expansion in the early Universe and a dark energy dominated stage responsible for the present day acceleration. It also leads to a nontrivial relation between the spect ...

Higgs-Dilaton cosmology: Are there extra relativistic species?

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Javier Rubio

Recent analyses of cosmological data suggest the presence of an extra relativistic component beyond the Standard Model content. The Higgs-Dilaton cosmological model predicts the existence of a massless particle - the dilaton - associated with the spontaneo ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: From the early to the late Universe

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Daniel Zenhäusern, Javier Rubio

We consider a minimal scale-invariant extension of the standard model of particle physics combined with unimodular gravity formulated in [M. Shaposhnikov and D. Zenhausern, Phys. Lett. B 671, 187 (2009).]. This theory is able to describe not only an inflat ...
