Co-Discussion Leaders: Andrew Long, Kuver Sinha
This block is focused broadly on observational methods which can be used to probe the
expansion history of the universe – potentially including probes which are potentially
promising yet underappreciated – and how experimental efforts over the next decade or
so are likely to improve our understanding of that expansion history on various...

Co-Discussion Leaders: Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Sten Delos
This is the first of two blocks focused on modifications to the cosmological expansion history which can arise in the presence of additional scalar fields (other than epochs of early matter domination, which are not unique to scalars and thus will be covered in a different block). Such modifications include, for example, early dark...

This block is focused on the gravitational-wave signatures that can arise in cosmological
scenarios involving modified expansion histories and the manner in which these signals
may be correlated with other observational signatures which might arise in such
scenarios.

Co-Discussion Leaders: Adrienne Erickcek, Jessie Shelton, Rouzbeh Allahverdi
This block is focused on early matter-dominated eras (EMDEs) and their
phenomenological/observational consequences, including implications for dark-matter
production and for structure on small scales.

Co-Discussion Leaders: Jim Halverson, Gary Shiu
This block is focused on the connections between non-standard expansion histories and
fundamental theory. To what extent do different top-down scenarios for physics beyond
the Standard Model, including string theory, predict departures from the standard
cosmology? Conversely, were we to obtain observational evidence that indeed...

Co-Discussion Leaders: Mustafa Amin, Tom Giblin
This block is focused on the manner in which inflation ends and on the modifications to
the subsequent cosmological timeline that can take place in particular kinds of
inflationary scenarios. This includes scenarios in which reheating takes place at late
times/low temperatures, and also scenarios in which states/structures produced at...

This block is focused on cosmological stasis, its realizations within the context of
particular scenarios beyond the Standard Model, and its potential observational
consequences.

Co-Discussion Leaders: Barmak Shams Es Haghi
This block is focused on epochs of primordial-black-hole (PBH) domination and their
potential consequences – including, for example, possible implications for dark-matter
physics, gravitational-wave physics, and the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the
universe. An early matter-dominated eras (EMDEs) can of course arise within...
