Antonio Riotto (INFN, Padova)
TL;DR
This paper offers a pedagogical overview of inflation and the generation of cosmological perturbations, explaining their role in the origin of cosmic structure.
Contribution
It provides an accessible introduction to the theory of inflation and the associated perturbations, clarifying their significance in cosmology.
Findings
Inflation explains the origin of primordial perturbations.
Perturbations lead to large-scale structure formation.
Theoretical framework connects inflation to observable universe features.
Abstract
These lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to inflation and the theory of cosmological perturbations generated during inflation which are thought to be the origin of structure in the universe.
