Dear Dr. Andronikos Paliathanasis:

Reading those ArXiv articles where you are the sole author, I was delighted to see something as recent as October 11, 2022.

My 1970s work was focused on the EPR paradox; I had some time with Bell in CERN, and with Aspect, Costa de Beauregard, and JP Vigier in Paris, but in 1980, I had to go in another direction. 

In 2011, I unwittingly picked it back up again as a result of doing a base-2 mapping of the universe from Planck’s base units with high school students. 

So, now I am enjoying your writings, slowly working through Complex Scalar fields in Scalar-Tensor… just one of your 163 ArXiv articles. I am attempting to discern the proper use of terms within scalar field theory: https://81018.com/penultimate/#Scalar
1. I appreciate the overview of scalar field theory within your introduction.
2. If your reference to inflation is a defacto nod to big bang theories, that’s unfortunate. I’ll dig down into your statement: “An inflationary model with a complex scalar field was proposed in [26].”

Thank you for all that you do to help clarify difficult issues.

Warmly,

Bruce
