We revise the role that ultraviolet divergences of quantum fields play in slow-roll inflation, and discuss the renormalization of cosmological observables from a space-time perspective, namely the angular power spectrum. We first derive an…
An analysis of adiabatic perturbations of a perfect fluid is performed to first-order about a general FLRW background using the 1+3 covariant and gauge-invariant formalism. The analog of the Mukhanov-Sasaki variable and the canonical…
Attempts to resolve the longstanding Fermion mass hierarchy (FMH) problem in frames of the AdS/CFT correspondence demand the knowledge of bulk fermion masses. The approach of the "old" conformal bootstrap in AdS context permitted to…
