Abstract

Although the inflationary predictions for the primordial power spectrum of    density inhomogeneities   seem  very successful, there is an obscure part in our understanding of the emergence of the seeds of cosmic   structure:  How  does  a universe which at one pint  in time is described by a  state that is fully  homogeneous and isotropic,  evolve into a state that is not,   given that the dynamics  does not  contain any  source  for the  undoing of  such symmetry?   We will  discuss  an   approach that  offers  a resolution  of the  issue  in the context of  proposals to deal  with the measurement  problem in quantum  mechanics. We will  see that the   approach  naturally  resolves the difficulties  raised  by the  lack of  observation of tensor modes.
