From Inflation to Dark Energy
Robert Brout
It is proposed that after the macroscopic fluctuation of energy density that is responsible for inflation dies away, a class of microscopic fluctuations, always present, survives t…
Condensation of Planckian Modes and the Inflaton
Robert Brout
To confront the transplanckian problem encountered in the backward extrapolation of the cosmological expansion of the momenta of the modes of quantum field theory, it is proposed t…
A Brief Course in Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking I. The Paleolitic Age
Robert Brout
The physical world is marked by the phenomenon of spontaneous broken symmetry (SBS) i.e. where the state of a system is assymmetric with respect to the symmetry principles that gov…
The Inflaton and its Mass
Robert Brout
In the context of the two fluid model of space-time fluctuations proposed to tame the transplanckian problem encountered in black hole physics, it is postulated that the inflaton i…
Who is the Inflaton?
R. Brout
In the context of the two-fluid model introduced to tame the transplanckian problem of black hole physics, the inflaton field of the chaotic inflation scenario is identified with t…
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Gauge Theories: a Historical Survey
R. Brout, F. Englert
The personal and scientific history of the discovery of spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge theories is outlined and its scientific content is reviewed
