6/17/25, 6:00 PM

Le modèle du Big-bang, cette théorie qui se fixe pour objectif de
décrire l’Univers et son histoire, est un extraordinaire échafaudage qui a
bouleversé notre représentation du cosmos, de l’espace et du temps. Selon
les mots de Georges Lemaître, « une cosmogonie vraiment complète devrait
expliquer les atomes comme les soleils ». Trouvant ses racines dans la
relativité générale d'Einstein,...

6/23/25, 3:00 PM

In a QFT on de Sitter background, one can study correlators between fields pushed to the future and past horizons of a comoving observer. This is a neat probe of the physics in the observer’s causal diamond (known as the static patch). This setup highlights how the analytic structure of de Sitter correlators encodes a generalized quasinormal spectrum, even in interacting theories, using the...

38. Laura Iacconi, Mapping inflationary loop corrections to boundary terms

6/26/25, 12:00 PM

Both single- and multi-field models of inflation might lead to enhanced scalar fluctuations on scales much smaller than those seeding the large-scale structure formation. In these scenarios, it is possible that the spike of power at high wavenumber might induce large corrections to the scalar power spectrum, e.g. in the form of loop corrections, potentially endangering the perturbativity of...

6/27/25, 10:30 AM

The absence of general non-perturbative methods in quantum field theory on curved spacetimes has highlighted the importance of numerical studies in classical regimes. This work presents an overview of our recent advances in solving the equations of general relativity (GR) for inhomogeneous inflation, driven by vacuum quantum fluctuations.
A key contribution of this work is the transition from...

7/2/25, 10:30 AM

Friction and noise naturally emerge when light and gravitational waves propagate through unknown environments. In this talk, I will present recent developments in a systematic effective field theory framework that captures dissipation and noise in a controlled, model-independent way. Building on fundamental principles such as symmetries, locality, and unitarity, I will show how these...
