Exams

There are three sportsman-like ways to pass the grade:

1. 1.You prepare a final project from the list of projects below or the one you choose yourself (should be within the course topic, done at nice technical level).
   

2. 2.You give a talk on one of 7 seminars on the topic of the seminar.
   

3. 3.You find about 10-15 mistakes in my calculations done during lectures and seminars, you are interactive enough to discuss them during the class (though, I guess, it will be hard for you to pass the grade this way).
   

Possible List of Final Projects

1. 1.Crocce-Scoccimarro LSS diagrammatic technique. Show how the bare propagator is renormalized and how initial conditions for the linear perturbations are forgotten.
   

2. 2.The dynamics of adiabatic and entropy perturbations in two-field inflation.
   

3. 3.Jacobi-Hamilton formalism for inflationary perturbations.
   

4. 4.Keeney RG flow for slow roll inflationary parameters.
   

5. 5.Byrnes-Koyama-Sasaki-Wands diagrammatic technique: calculate two-point correlation function of the curvature  perturbation at one loop.
   

6. 6.RG flow for non-gaussianities.*
   

7. 7.Eternal inflation regime in chaotic inflationary scenario. Solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in chaotic inflationary model with quadratic potential.
   

8. 8.Martin-Siggia-Rose diagrammatic technique for eternal inflation.
   

9. 9.Anything else you will be interested in.
