Snowmass White Paper: The Cosmological Bootstrap

Posted by klaurent March 15, 2022March 28, 2022Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Daniel Green, Austin Joyce, Enrico Pajer, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: This white paper summarizes recent progress in the cosmological bootstrap, an approach to the study of the statistics of primordial fluctuations from consistency with unitarity, locality and symmetry assumptions. We review the key ideas […]
