Description
Primordial gravitational waves offer a rare opportunity to probe physics at extremely high energies, opening a window onto the very earliest moments of the universe's history. I will discuss how cosmic inflation can lead to new and distinctive gravitational-wave signals within the reach of current and/or near-future interferometers. I will also show how anisotropies in the gravitational-wave background can become a powerful new way to probe the inflationary era, helping us tell apart inflationary signals from those produced by other cosmic or astrophysical sources.
