    Description

    Current and future galaxy surveys will map out a significant portion of the observable Universe. In addition to telling us about what the Universe is made of and how it evolved, the data can also be used to probe the origin of the seed perturbations produced during inflation (or some other unusual stage of the early Universe). Fabian will explain how this comes up about and what we can learn, and discuss some of the theoretical issues that need to be solved to realize this potential.
