Cosmic Inflation and Early Universe Dynamics - Lecture 5
International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Overview
Explore a comprehensive lecture on cosmic inflation delivered at the 3rd IAGRG School on Gravitation and Cosmology. Delve into advanced concepts of early universe cosmology as presented by Paolo Creminelli at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Learn about the theoretical foundations and observational evidence for the inflationary period of the universe's expansion, which addresses fundamental questions about cosmic structure and evolution. Part of a broader two-week intensive program covering modern cosmology topics, this lecture contributes to a curriculum designed for graduate students and researchers studying cosmological phenomena. Gain insights into how inflation theory helps explain the uniformity of the cosmic microwave background, the flatness of space, and the origin of large-scale structure in the universe. The lecture forms part of a comprehensive series that includes theoretical discussions and practical tutorials, aimed at advancing understanding of contemporary cosmological research.
