Abstract

In this talk, the speaker will discuss recently introduced mimetic scalar-tensor theories which are Weyl-invariant. Surprisingly these theories can naturally describe Dark Matter on linear scales. Moreover, these theories are interesting to model Inflation and Dark Energy. He will review the results from his recent papers: arXiv:1512.09118, arXiv:1403.3961 and arXiv:1412.7136.

The seminar is free and open to all. Seating is on a first come, first served basis.
