Cosmological Inflation In N-Dimensional Gaussian Random Fields With Algorithmic Data Compression, Connor Painter
Arts & Sciences Student Symposium
The leading theories of inflation are increasingly multi-dimensional. In this project, we consider a natural hypothesis that the inflaton potential, the theorized mechanism behind accelerated expansion in the early universe, is maximally random. We present a program that simulates random potentials, solves equations of motion, and catalogues predictions for observable quantities, such as perturbation spectra.

Analyzing Polychromatic Map-Making Techniques From Monochromatic Time-Ordered Data, Brianna Cantrall
Arts & Sciences Student Symposium
This research focuses on techniques for extracting polychromatic data from a monochromatic time-ordered data signal. Being able to reproduce polychromatic maps from monochromatic data broadens the way in which one can analyze properties of the universe. This polychromatic map reconstruction in this research focuses on being able to further analyze the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.
