Cosmology and spacetime symmetries

Abstract

Cosmological models often contain scalar fields, which can acquire global nonzero expectation values that change with the comoving time. Among the possible consequences of these scalar-field backgrounds, an accelerated cosmological expansion, varying couplings, and spacetime-symmetry violations have recently received considerable attention. This talk studies the interplay of these three key signatures of cosmologically varying scalars within a supergravity framework.
