Abstract: |
Inflation remains the favoured explanation for the origin of the primordial density fluctuations that seeded all large-scale structures in the universe. A precise connection between inflation and particle physics (and quantum gravity) would give a unique observational window into physics at the highest energies. After a general introduction to multifield scenarios, I will discuss recent progress on novel inflationary attractors, and how to find them. |
