Title:Some Key Issues Confronting Inflationary Cosmology

Authors:Robert H. Brandenberger (Brown University)
View PDF
Abstract: Does inflation provide a compelling explanation for why the universe is so large, so flat, and so old, and a predictive theory of density perturbations? In this brief contribution (based on the role of the author as moderator of the discussion session on inflation), a list of some of the key issues confronting inflationary cosmology will be given, with the hope of focusing the debate on inflation and drawing more attention to some of the potential problems of the inflationary theory.
