Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture and Early Universe Cosmology
arXiv:2102.09641
Abstract
I review the "Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture" (TCC) and its implications for cosmology, in particular for the inflationary universe scenario. Whereas the inflationary scenario is tightly constrained by the TCC, alternative early universe scenarios are not restricted.
