The Inflationary Universe

Astrophysical observations of the cosmic microwave background point to inconsistencies in the standard model of cosmology, and a primordial accelerated expansion of the universe known as inflation has been suggested as a solution. Unfortunately, observational evidence of inflation is lacking, and there exists hundreds of models that populate the inflationary landscape. In this thesis, we explore three of these and see what constraints are set on them in order to account for observations. We find that two of the models have regimes of trans-planckian nature, while the third leads to a non-invertible equation. / Astronomiska observationer av den kosmiska bakgrundsstrålningen tyder på bristfälligheter i standardkosmologin, vilket har lett till förslaget om en accelererande expansion i de tidigaste skeden av universum känd som inflation. I avsaknaden av observationella bevis finns det numera hundratals inflationsmodeller, och i detta arbete kommer vi att rikta fokuset mot tre av dessa avvilka två visar sig överstiga transplanckianska värden medan den sista leder till en ekvation som inte är inverterbar.
