Description
During inflation the universe was described approximately by deSitter space, which is a highly symmetric spacetime with an $SO(4,1)$ symmetry group. The talk will discuss how these symmetries, which are also the symmetries of 3 dimensional Euclidean Conformal field theories, can provide significant constraints on the correlation functions of perturbations generated during inflation.
