Description

Understanding the microscopic origin of primordial fluctuations remains a central challenge in inflationary cosmology. In this talk, I will explore a scenario where curvature perturbations interact with a strongly coupled, gapless sector known as unparticles. This setup allows for analytic control of cosmological correlators and reveals novel bispectrum shapes with distinctive phenomenological signatures. If time permits, I will also comment on possible model realizations and gapped scenarios.
