I examine the standard formalism of calculating curvature perturbations in inflation at horizon crossing, and derive a general relation which must be satisfied for the horizon crossing formalism to be valid. This relation is satisfied for the usual cases of power-law and slow roll inflation. I then consider a model for which the relation is strongly violated, and the curvature perturbation evolves rapidly on superhorizon scales. This model has Hubble slow roll parameter $eta = 3$, but predicts a scale-invariant spectrum of density perturbations. I consider the case of hybrid inflation with large $eta$, and show that such solutions do not solve the ``$eta$ problem in supergravity. These solutions correspond to field evolution which has not yet relaxed to the inflationary attractor solution, and may make possible new, more natural models on the string landscape.

Sapcetime ${mathcal S}$ produces massive particle-antiparticle pairs $bar F F$ that in turn annihilate to spacetime. Such back and forth gravitational process ${mathcal S}Leftrightarrow bar F F$ is described by Boltzmann-type cosmic rate equation of
pair-number conservation. This cosmic rate equation, Einstein equation, and the reheating equation of pairs decay to relativistic particles completely determine the horizon $H$, cosmological energy density, massive pair and radiation energy densities in reheating epoch. Moreover, oscillating ${mathcal S}Leftrightarrow bar F F$ process leads to the acoustic perturbations of massive particle-antiparticle symmetric and asymmetric densities. We derive wave equations for these perturbations and find frequencies of lowest lying modes. Comparing their wavelengths with horizon variation, we show their subhorion crossing at preheating, and superhorizon crossing at reheating. The superhorizon crossing of particle-antiparticle asymmetric perturbations accounts for the baryogenesis of net baryon numbers, whose electric currents lead to magnetogenesis. The baryon number-to-entropy ratio, upper and lower limits of primeval magnetic fields are computed in accordance with observations. Given a pivot comoving wavelength, it is shown that these perturbations, as dark-matter acoustic waves, originate in pre-inflation and return back to the horizon after the recombination, possibly leaving imprints on the matter power spectrum at large length scales. Due to the Jeans instability, tiny pair-density acoustic perturbations in superhorizon can be amplified to the order of unity. Thus their amplitudes at reentry horizon become non-linear and maintain approximately constant physical sizes, and have physical influences on the formation of large scale structure and galaxies.
We extend the basic formalism of mimetic-metric-torsion gravity theory, in a way that the mimetic scalar field can manifest itself geometrically as the source of not only the trace mode of torsion, but also its axial (or, pseudo-trace) mode. Specific
ally, we consider the mimetic field to be (i) coupled explicitly to the well-known Holst extension of the Riemann-Cartan action, and (ii) identified with the square of the associated Barbero-Immirzi field, which is presumed to be a pseudo-scalar. The conformal symmetry originally prevalent in the theory would still hold, as the associated Cartan transformations do not affect the torsion pseudo-trace, and hence the Holst term. Demanding the theory to preserve the spatial parity symmetry as well, we focus on a geometric unification of the cosmological dark sector, and show that a super-accelerating regime in the course of evolution of the universe is always feasible. From the observational perspective, assuming the cosmological evolution profile to be very close to that for $L$CDM, we further show that there could be a smooth crossing of the so-called phantom barrier at a low red-shift, however for a very restricted parametric domain. The extent of the super-acceleration have subsequently been ascertained by examining the evolution of the relevant torsion parameters.
Kerr-Schild solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations, containing semi-infinite axial singular lines, are investigated. It is shown that axial singularities break up the black hole, forming holes in the horizon. As a result, a tube-like reg
ion appears which allows matter to escape from the interior without crossing the horizon. It is argued that axial singularities of this kind, leading to very narrow beams, can be created in black holes by external electromagnetic or gravitational excitations and may be at the origin of astrophysically observable effects such as jet formation.

We investigate, in the transverse traceless (TT) gauge, the generation of the relic background of gravitational waves, generated during an early inflationary stage, on the framework of a large-scale repulsive gravity model. We calculate the spectrum
of the tensor metric fluctuations of an effective 4D Schwarzschild-de-Sitter metric, which is obtained after implementing a planar coordinate transformation on a 5D Ricci-flat metric solution, in the context of a non-compact Kaluza-Klein theory of gravity. We found that the spectrum is nearly scale invariant under certain conditions. One interesting aspect of this model is that is possible to derive dynamical field equations for the tensor metric fluctuations, valid not just at cosmological scales, but also at astrophysical scales, from the same theoretical model. The astrophysical and cosmological scales are determined by the gravity- antigravity radius, which is a natural length scale of the model, that indicates when gravity becomes repulsive in nature.
In the framework of effective field theories with prominent helicity-0 and helicity-1 fields coupled to each other via a dimension-3 operator, we study the dynamics of inflation driven by the helicity-0 mode, with a given potential energy, as well as
the evolution of cosmological perturbations, influenced by the presence of a mixing term between both helicities. In this scenario, the temporal component of the helicity-1 mode is an auxiliary field and can be integrated out in terms of the time derivative of the helicity-0 mode, so that the background dynamics effectively reduces to that in single-field inflation modulated by a parameter $beta$ associated to the coupling between helicity-0 and helicity-1 modes. We discuss the evolution of a longitudinal scalar perturbation $psi$ and an inflaton fluctuation $delta phi$, and explicitly show that a particular combination of these two, which corresponds to an isocurvature mode, is subject to exponential suppression by the vector mass comparable to the Hubble expansion rate during inflation. Furthermore, we find that the effective single-field description corrected by $beta$ also holds for the power spectrum of curvature perturbations generated during inflation. We compute the standard inflationary observables such as the scalar spectral index $n_s$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and confront several inflaton potentials with the recent observational data provided by Planck 2018. Our results show that the coupling between helicity-0 and helicity-1 modes can lead to a smaller value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio especially for small-field inflationary models, so our scenario exhibits even better compatibility with the current observational data.
