Description
As usual we will start with a discussion about the novelties on the arXiv, please try to bring references relevant both for formal and pheno people. Then for the occasion Guillermo Ballesteros will lead a discussion on: Eternal inflation. Abstract: I will briefly review the concept of cosmological inflation. I will try to explain what is meant by eternal inflation and discuss some of its possible implications for high energy physics and cosmology. Finally, I will discuss certain unsolved issues regarding the use of eternal inflation and its definition to deal with problems such as the smallness of the cosmological constant. Hope to see you all there. Best regards, the organizers
