Title: Initial Conditions for Inflation

Abstract: Cosmic inflation makes the universe flat and homogeneous, but under what conditions inflation starts? I will discuss analytical results that show, with weak assumptions, that inflation starts somewhere and some theorems in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions that support the de Sitter no-hair conjecture.

Speaker: Professor Paolo Creminelli, Head, High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP), The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy.

Date and Time: 9 th July 2020, 2 PM to 4:30 PM (Berlin Time)
