Douglas Spolyar - SuperCool Inflation

Nordita Scientific Program: Extended Theories of Gravity, 2—20 March 2015 The cosmological constant and the physics behind dark energy that accelerates the expansion of the universe remain among the biggest mysteries in theoretical physics. An intriguing possibility is that these problems stem from extrapolating Einstein's General relativity from the Solar system to the far infrared cosmological scales. In the other extreme, at the ultraviolet regime Einstein's theory encounters notorious innities resulting
