No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; In this chapter we will show how to calculate the spectrum of fluctuations during inflation, and relate that to observables. We will quantize fluctuations during inflation, and show what power spectrum they give, and how that reflects into the CMBR fluctuations. The final point will be how to then const...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; In this chapter, we will describe the AdS/CFT correspondence, which relates a gravity theory, usually in an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) d+ 1 dimensional background to a field theory with conformal invariance (CFT) in d dimensions, living at a boundary of the space. Therefore the correspondence is an example of...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; In this chapter we will study the idea of extra dimensions, as proposed by Kaluza and Klein. The idea of having extra dimensions, besides our usual 3 + 1, is an old one. Already Theodor Kaluza (in 1921) and Oskar Klein (in 1926) had considered it. The general idea of Klein was to consider that our space...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; In this chapter I will explain in some detail how measurements are made in astrophysics and cosmology, so that we can gain some faith in the fact that we actually can determine things precisely. I will start describing the propagation of light in a cosmological setting, follow on to say how we can use t...

In fact, it is based on the axionic models from the previous chapter.; Instituto de Física Teórica U...
