We have recently made public a rather technical paper in which we
explicitly and unambiguously calculate the cosmic string loop number
density distribution in our universe coming from various motivated
loop production functions. Such a density distribution crucially
determines the spectrum of their emitted gravitational waves, a
smooking gun for their potential discovery.

In a recent preprint, we discuss the possibility that both the Planck
mass and the dark energy scale are dynamically generated by stochastic
effects during inflation.

We hold an informal meeting, organized one day before the Solvay
Workshop on “The dark side of Black
Holes”
in Brussels (but not officially related to it), with a few experts on
PBH to discuss recent developments in the field. This takes place
Tuesday 2nd of April, seminar room E349 from 10 am.

The final release of the Planck data 2018, see this
post, invited
us to finalize a long project in which we discuss the actual status of
Cosmic Inflation with
respect to what we have learned about the early universe.

We are happy to announce the opening of a few post-doctoral
positions in Gravitational Waves research at the Institute of
Mathematics and
Physics. The
positions are shared with our CP3
colleagues and the
STAR
institute. We search for candidates over a wide range of expertises,
from VIRGO related hardware design to GW data analysis for
Cosmology. Don’t hesitate to apply, the number of openings is not
rigidly fixed yet.
