Reassessing the link between B -modes and inflation

We reevaluate the predictions of inflation regarding primordial gravity waves, which should appear as B-modes in the cosmic microwave background (CMB), in light of the fact that the standard inflationary paradigm is unable to account for the transition from an initially symmetric state into a nonsym...

We show that the incorporation of an element capable of explaining such a transition dramatically alters the prediction for the shape and size of the B-mode spectrum.
