DIFT Colloquium.
Cumrun Vafa (Harvard).
Abstract:
The dark sector — comprising dark energy and dark matter — has remained a profound mystery for decades. In this talk, I will review this subject and show how string theory naturally leads to a predictive framework for a unified dark sector. I will also discuss how these string-theoretic predictions align with exciting recent cosmological observations from the DES and DESI collaborations.
