Primordial Inflation, gauge fields and gravitational waves.

Abstract

Primordial Inflation is a very early stage of expansion of the Universe at very high energy, which is thought to explain many observed properties of our Universe. We aim to study the connection with Particle Physics of such models, in particular the presence of photons and other gauge fields during inflation, in order to compute observable consequences of this possible connection. We also look for models which can produce detectable gravitational wave signals.
