Novel Theories of the Early Universe

March 6 - 8, 2008
Perimeter Institute
 

This meeting brings together a small number of experts to discuss recent developments in ekpyrotic/cyclic models, string/M-theory approaches to cosmology, and other alternatives to cosmic inflation. The format will be very informal, with plenty of time for interruptions and discussions both plenary, breakout and just ad hoc.
