Abstract

In my talk I will review motivation for and construction of an infinite derivative gravity. Especially a connection to the string field theory will be highlighted. Then I will demonstrate an exact embedding of the Starobinsky inflation in this construction. In final part I will speak about modifications to observable compared to local models of inflation: spectral indexes, tensor/to scalar ratio, shapes of non-gaussianities and related parameters, gravitational waves production.
