The opiparous edition of Encyclopædia Inflationaris
We have released a new version of Encyclopædia Inflationaris and its associated public code ASPIC. This opiparous edition extends the original paper by 400 pages and features 46 new models of inflation that have been proposed in the last decade. Cosmic Inflation is ready to tackle the data challenges of tomorrow.

More …Mean-field approach to Random Apollonian Packing
Bubble nucleation is a phenomenon ubiquitous in physics, with applications ranging from the geometry of tree crowns, the structure of porous media and of sphere packing. Bubbles also find applications in cosmology such as the characterization of cosmic voids in the large scale structure and the signatures of cosmological phase transitions. In a new preprint, Pierre proposes a new method to determine the fractal properties of the so-called Random Apollonian Packing.
