Description
Modern cosmology inevitably involves particle physics beyond the Standard Model to explain long-standing puzzles: the origin of matter asymmetry, nature of dark matter and cosmic inflation. In this talk, I will explain that gauge fields in inflation can possibly solve and relate these seemingly unrelated mysteries of modern cosmology. As a smoking gun, this setup has robust observable signatures for the gravitational background to be probed by future CMB missions and laser interferometer detectors.
