Theoretical and observational constraints on brane inflation and study of scalar perturbations through the effective field theory formalism
In this thesis, we study observational signatures of cosmic (super)strings in the context of D brane inflation and properties of scalar inflaton perturbations on generic homogeneous inflating backgrounds. In the first part, we study the properties of cosmic superstrings produced at the end of inflat...
