Inflation at the boundary of de Sitter
Dias, Mafalda (University of Sussex)

Using the dS/QFT correspondence in the context of inflation allows for the study of interesting, otherwise inaccessible physics. In particular, by studying inflation via its dual field theory at the boundary of the de Sitter space, it may be possible to study a regime of strongly coupled gravity at early times. The purpose of this talk is to present this framework and, by comparing its predictions with WMAP data, study the limits of its validity.
