Speaker
Dr
Alexey Koshelev
Description
I will describe the stringy motivated non-local gravity and
discuss the Starobinsky inflation in this model, the most
attractive
inflationary scenario from a phenomenological point of view.
Computation
of scalar and tensor spectral tilts will be discussed and a
comparison
to the existing data will be made. As an upshot the results
show that
the model is well-behaved and exhibits similarities with the
local
counterpart.
