Abstract: |
Recent measurements of the large-scale CMB anisotropy made by WMAP indicate a reflection asymmetry, an axis of evil, a low quadrupole, and a few multipoles deviated from the Lambda-CDM model prediction. All of these may give us a hint about the physics of inflation during the first few e-folds. Efforts taken along this direction will be reviewed and I will also talk about our recent work. |
