- Violating Rotational or Translational Invariance During Inflation (Joint with Phenomenology)
- Time: 2:30 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Mark B. Wise, Caltech
- Abstract: I explore the possibility that rotational or translational invariance is violated during the inflationary era but restored at the end of the inflationary era. This possibility is constrained by data on the microwave background anisotropy. Some particular inflationary models are discussed.
