Title: Transplanckian Physics
Abstract:
Recent developments both experimental and theoretical on
transplanckian physics. Experiments hinge on the possibility of
measuring polarization. Theory on how to parametrize the ambiguities
characterizing the vacuum in deSitter space. Are some of the effects
forbidden by analyticity and causality? Two sides of the issue will
be presented: a) arguments against visible effects of transplackian
physics in CMBR. b) arguments for possible (still difficult to see)
effects in CMBR.
