There have been thousands of cosmological models for our early universe proposed in the literature, and many of them claimed to be able to give rise to scale-invariant power spectrum as was favored by the observational data. It is thus interesting to think about whether there are some relations among them, e.g., the duality relation. In this paper, we investigate duality relations between cosmological models in framework of general relativity (GR) , not only with varying slow-roll parameter $epsilon$, but also with sound speed $c_s$, which can then be understood as adiabatic duality. Several duality relationships are formulated analytically and verified numerically. We show that models with varying $epsilon$ and constant $c_s$ can be dual in scalar spectral index, but not tensor one. On the other hand, allowing both $epsilon$ and $c_s$ to vary can make models dual in both scalar and tensor spectral indices.

After giving a pedagogical review we clarify that the stochastic approach to inflation is generically reliable only at zeroth order in the (geometrical) slow-roll parameter $epsilon_1$ if and only if $epsilon_2^2ll 6/epsilon_1$, with the notable exce ption of slow-roll. This is due to the failure of the stochastic $Delta N$ formalism in its standard formulation. However, by keeping the formalism in its regime of validity, we showed that, in ultra-slow-roll, the stochastic approach to inflation reproduces the power spectrum calculated from the linear theory approach.

In this paper, we study the impact of non-trivial sound on the evolution of cosmological complexity in inflationary period. The vacuum state of curvature perturbation could be treated as squeezed states with two modes, characterized by the two most e ssential parameters: angle parameter $phi_k$ and squeezing parameter $r_k$. Through $Schrddot{o}dinger$ equation, one can obtain the corresponding evolution equation of $phi_k$ and $r_k$. Subsequently, the quantum circuit complexity between a squeezed vacuum state and squeezed states are evaluated in scalar curvature perturbation with a type of non-trivial sound speed. Our results reveal that the evolution of complexity at early times shows the rapid solution comparing with $c_S=1$, in which we implement the resonant sound speed with various values of $xi$. In these cases, it shows that the scrambling time will be lagged with non-vanishing $xi$. Further, our methodology sheds a new way of distinguishing various inflationary models.

When baryon-quark continuity is formulated in terms of a topology change without invoking explicit QCD degrees of freedom at a density higher than twice the nuclear matter density $n_0$ the core of massive compact stars can be described in terms of fractionally charged particles, behaving neither like pure baryons nor deconfined quarks. Hidden symmetries, both local gauge and pseudo-conformal (or broken scale), lead to the pseudo-conformal (PC) sound velocity $v_{pcs}^2/c^2approx 1/3$ at $gsim 3n_0$ in compact stars. We argue these symmetries are emergent from strong nuclear correlations and conjecture that they reflect hidden symmetries in QCD proper exposed by nuclear correlations. We establish a possible link between the quenching of $g_A$ in superallowed Gamow-Teller transitions in nuclei and the precocious onset at $ngsim 3n_0$ of the PC sound velocity predicted at the dilaton limit fixed point. We propose that bringing in explicit quark degrees of freedom as is done in terms of the quarkyonic and other hybrid hadron-quark structure and our topology-change strategy represent the hadron-quark duality formulated in terms of the Cheshire-Cat mechanism~cite{CC} for the smooth cross-over between hadrons and quarks. Confrontation with currently available experimental observations is discussed to support this notion.

We consider the familiar problem of a minimally coupled scalar field with quadratic potential in flat Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker cosmology to illustrate a number of techniques and tools, which can be applied to a wide range of scalar field potentials and problems in e.g. modified gravity. We present a global and regular dynamical systems description that yields a global understanding of the solution space, including asymptotic features. We introduce dynamical systems techniques such as center manifold expansions and use Pade approximants to obtain improved approximations for the `attractor solution at early times. We also show that future asymptotic behavior is associated with a limit cycle, which shows that manifest self-similarity is asymptotically broken toward the future, and give approximate expressions for this behavior. We then combine these results to obtain global approximations for the attractor solution, which, e.g., might be used in the context of global measures. In addition we elucidate the connection between slow-roll based approximations and the attractor solution, and compare these approximations with the center manifold based approximants.
We analyse field fluctuations during an Ultra Slow-Roll phase in the stochastic picture of inflation and the resulting non-Gaussian curvature perturbation, fully including the gravitational backreaction of the fields velocity. By working to leading o rder in a gradient expansion, we first demonstrate that consistency with the momentum constraint of General Relativity prevents the field velocity from having a stochastic source, reflecting the existence of a single scalar dynamical degree of freedom on long wavelengths. We then focus on a completely level potential surface, $V=V_0$, extending from a specified exit point $phi_{rm e}$, where slow roll resumes or inflation ends, to $phirightarrow +infty$. We compute the probability distribution in the number of e-folds $mathcal{N}$ required to reach $phi_{rm e}$ which allows for the computation of the curvature perturbation. We find that, if the fields initial velocity is high enough, all points eventually exit through $phi_{rm e}$ and a finite curvature perturbation is generated. On the contrary, if the initial velocity is low, some points enter an eternally inflating regime despite the existence of $phi_{rm e}$. In that case the probability distribution for $mathcal{N}$, although normalizable, does not possess finite moments, leading to a divergent curvature perturbation.
