Inflation and dark energy in quantum gravity

Martedì 10 giugno 2025, con inizio alle ore 15:00, presso l'Aula T del DFA, il Dott. Alessandro Borys terrà un seminario dal titolo Inflation and dark energy in quantum gravity.

Il seminario appartiene al ciclo Young Physicists to Young Physicists (YP2), organizzato dai Rappresentati del Dottorato in Fisica.

Abstract. Both the early and late universe correspond to phases of accelerated expansion. Moreover, the latest DESI-DR2 results indicate that dark energy behaves like a dynamical field  rather than a cosmological constant (as in standard ΛCDM cosmology). This means that both inflation and dark energy can be described in a similar way, employing a simple scalar field rolling down its potential. I will present general features of inflation and dark energy and briefly describe them with a Quantum Gravity approach.
