Primordial perturbations from cosmic inflation
📍 London
David Wands
(Portsmouth)
Abstract:
I will review what has become the standard model for the origin of structure in the Universe: quantum fluctuations of a scalar field during a period of accelerated expansion ("inflation") in the very early universe. I will discuss some of the latest observational evidence, including recent results from ESA's Planck satellite, and what this might tell us about the physics of inflation.

Higher Spin algebras in different dimensions
Karapet Mkrtchyan
(Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa)
Abstract:
Higher Spin Algebras are (infinite-dimensional) Lie algebras, that underlie a theory with Higher Spin spectrum. In different space-time dimensions Higher Spin algebras have different properties. I will present a review and some new results on Higher Spin algebras in different dimensions.
