Approaches to Understanding Inflation: String Models and Axions Speaker(s): Mark Hertzberg
Abstract: Although the observational evidence for cosmological inflation is growing, the physical mechanism behind it is still unknown. In part this is because inflation probably occurred at energy scales many orders of magnitude higher than that at man-made or astrophysical particle accelerators. So how can ... read more

Inflationary Constraints on String Theory Speaker(s): Mark Hertzberg
Abstract: It is an important task to embed inflation in a fundamental microphysical theory such as string theory. Since string theory possesses a vast landscape of 4-dimensional theories, we would like to know which portions contain inflation and which do not. I prove a no-go theorem that inflation and de Sit... read more
