Parity-Violation in Gravity: New Constructions and Inflationary Signals

Cyril Creque-Sarbinowski
Flatiron Institute

Abstract:

I will talk about new constructions to the parity-violating sector of gravity that can yield large observables, in particular those from inflation. Within this framework, I will demonstrate the potential for seeking gravitational parity-violation in uncharted regions of parameter space and give hints to novel methods of probing baryogenesis. I will also comment on a few interesting theoretical aspects regarding inflationary correlators.
