  2. 1. Live Talk 1: Building a Boostless Bootstrap [Enrico Pajer]
    07/09/2020, 14:00

    Abstract: Cosmological surveys are believed to measure the future value of quantum correlators in a theory of gravity around quasi de Sitter spacetime. The goal of this talk is to develop a cosmological bootstrap, namely understand how general physical principles such as unitarity, locality and symmetries are encoded in these observables without a reference to the unobservable time evolution...

  4. 18. Live Talk 2: Multipoint Correlators in Multifield Cosmology: formal structure and applications [Eva Silverstein]
    07/09/2020, 16:00

    Abstract: Connected N-point amplitudes in quantum field theory are enhanced by a factor of N! in appropriate regimes of kinematics and couplings, but the non-perturbative analysis of this for collider physics applications is subtle. We will start by briefly reviewing this effect and related developments in large-charge sectors of quantum field theory. We then resolve the question in the...

  7. 19. Live Talk 3: Spinning Cosmological Bootstrap [Hayden Lee]
    08/09/2020, 14:00

    Abstract: In this talk, I will describe recent developments in the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlators, extended to correlators of massless spinning particles. Interactions of massless particles are highly constrained by gauge invariance, which manifests itself as current conservation on the boundary of de Sitter space. I will show that boundary spinning correlators satisfy current...

  9. 20. Live Talk 4: Steinmann Relations, Causality and the Wavefunction of the Universe [Paolo Benincasa]
    08/09/2020, 16:00

    Abstract: How consistent causal time evolution is encoded in the late
    time wavefuntions of the universe or correlation functions? This is one
    of the open question which is crucial for our understanding of the
    fundamental physics encoded in quantum mechanical observables in
    cosmology. In this talk I will report on a recent progress in addressing
    such a question showing how the wavefunction...

  12. 22. Live Talk 5: Alternatives to inflation as cosmological particle scanners [Xingang Chen]
    09/09/2020, 14:00

    Abstract: We show that, while inflation can be regarded as a cosmological collider with fixed energy, possible alternative scenarios to inflation may be viewed as particle detectors with scanning energies. They scan through a tower of massive particles in the primordial universe and leave a series of bursts of oscillatory signals as scale-dependent features in the density perturbations....

  14. 23. Live Talk 6: De Sitter Diagrammar and the Resummation of Time [Matthew Baumgart]
    09/09/2020, 16:00

    Abstract: Light scalars in inflationary spacetimes suffer from infrared logarithmic divergences at every order in perturbation theory. This corresponds to the scalar field values in different Hubble patches undergoing a random walk of quantum fluctuations, leading to a simple toy ``landscape'' on superhorizon scales, in which we can explore questions relevant to eternal inflation. However,...
