Initial Conditions for Cosmic Inflation, the History of the Dark Sector, and Dark-Onium
The question remains whether inflation is robust to inhomogeneous initial conditions. This thesis first describes the basics of cosmic inflation and the evolution of primordial inhomogeneities in the matter field and spacetime metric during inflation. Then a new approach for analyzing the onset of i...
