Theoretical and observational consequences of the Geometrical Destabilization of Inflation
The GEODESI project aims at interpreting current and forthcoming cosmological observations in a renewed theoretical framework about cosmological inflation and its ending. The simplest toy models of inflation economically explain all current data, leaving no observational clue to guide theorists towards a finer physical understanding. In this context, I very recently unveiled an hitherto unnoticed instability at play in the primordial universe that potentially affects all inflationary models and drastically modifies the interpretation of cosmological observations in terms of fundamental physics. The so-called Geometrical Destabilization of inflation reshuffles our understanding of the origin…
