Inflation and Alternative Early Universe Scenarios in Light of the Swampland Constraints

Abstract :  The inflationary scenario has become the standard
paradigm of early universe cosmology, but it is not
the only scenario which can explain the currently
available data on the large-scale structure of the
universe. I will compare inflation with two alternative
scenarios, the "Ekpyrotic bounce" scenario, and
"String Gas Cosmology". I will then argue that
there are severe obstacles to embed inflationary
cosmology into quantum gravity, and that the
alternative scenarios may be more promising"

Parity breaking transport and Ward identities in 2+1 dimensions

We derive the Ward identities originated from general linear transformations for the systems with time translation invariance. They connect various transport coefficients for 2+1 dimensional systems with broken parity. Our general results agree with the available relations in incompressible Hall fluid and in magnetically charged black holes. The talk is organized to give a broad picture for the subject.
