Emergent Cosmology from Matrix Theory

Seminário Virtual | Monday, August 22, 2022 | 14:00:00
Speaker:
Robert Brandenberger
Current cosmological models are based on an effective field formalism. I will argue that such a formalism faces serious challenges when applied to the early universe. I will propose a new scenario for early universe cosmology which is based on the BFSS matrix model, a proposed non-perturbative definition of superstring theory.
