Inflation against Planck data

Inflaton models within and beyond general relativity, tested on the nₛ–r plane with CosmoMC.

CosmoMCBayesian inference

The M.Sc. thesis at Istanbul Technical University: Theoretical and observational aspects of inflationary cosmology.

The theory of the early universe is built up from first principles. Model-independent observational constraints are analysed with Bayesian inference in CosmoMC, and inflaton models within and beyond general relativity are tested against the Planck data sets.
