Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture and Early Universe Cosmology
Robert Brandenberger
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.
