7 Inflation A period of accelerated expansion ds 2 = dt 2 + e 2Ht dx 2 H const Solves: horizon problem flatness problem monopole problem i.e. explains why the Universe is so large, so flat, and so empty Predicts: scalar fluctuations in the CMB temperature nearly scale-invariant approximately Gaussian (?)? primordial tensor fluctuations (gravitational waves)

12 Slow roll inflation consistent with WMAP+ Superhorizon, adiabatic fluctuations - T and E anticorrelated at superhorizon scales Flatness tested to 1%. Gaussianity tested to 0.1%. nearly scale-invariant fluctuations - red tilt indicated at ~3 " Spergel, Verde, Peiris et al. (2003), Komatsu et al. (2003), Peiris et al.

13 What is the physics of inflation? V (φ) Why did the field start here? Where did this function come from? Why is the potential so flat? Inflation consists of taking a few numbers that we don t understand and replacing it with a function that we don t understand David Schramm φ How do we convert the field energy completely into particles?

35 Outline The primordial power spectrum Inferences from the CMB with inflationary priors Beyond the standard model Is the cut sky CMB anomalous?
36 Testing Fundamental Cosmological Assumptions N ecliptic hemisphere l=2 S ecliptic hemisphere l=3 Asymmetry? Alignment?
37 Is the CMB sky statistically isotropic? Isotropy anomalies identified in WMAP temperature field. e.g. hemispherical asymmetry N ecliptic S ecliptic South (ecliptic) has more power than North. Eriksen et al. 2004: P-value ~1% in isotropic universe.
38 Is the CMB sky statistically isotropic? Isotropy anomalies identified in WMAP temperature field. e.g. e.g. quadrupole-octupole alignment Quadrupole and octupole are planar and mutually aligned (de Oliveira Costa et al. 2003) WMAP7: P-value ~ in isotropic universe.
