Title: Bootstrapping cosmological fluctuations

Abstract:

I will describe a new method to compute and constrain the possible
shapes of primordial correlation functions from inflation. This
``cosmological bootstrap” draws inspiration from the recent advances
in understanding the tree-level S-matrix in flat space, as well as the
conformal bootstrap of phase transitions. I will also comment on
various unexplored directions for future research.
