Gravity in string theory is a generalized version of Einstein's theory with some universal features that call for a reformulation of the key geometrical concepts. In addition to the metric tensor, for example, string theory contains an antisymmetric tensor and a dilaton that allow for extra symmetries. A new branch of mathematics, Generalized Geometry, suggests a framework that finds a realization in the recent Double Field Theory formulation of string gravity. I will describe the main ideas, the progress, and the mysteries that remain in the search for a proper description of string gravitation.

I will discuss superhorizon fluctuations in de Sitter space. The first part of the talk will focus on computing entanglement entropies of field theories in a fixed de Sitter background. Those computations are done for free theories and also theories with gravity duals. If time permits, I will also discuss superhorizon fluctuations in cosmological backgrounds. In particular, I focus on showing that subhorizon fluctuations can not produce any significant backreaction on superhorizon modes. If those late time effects existed, one in principle could not trust the scale invariant spectrum of inflationary theories to be the source of the spectrum of thermal fluctuations of the CMB.

Parameterizing dark sector perturbations

When recent observational evidence and the GR+FRW+CDM model are combined we obtain the result that the Universe is accelerating, where the acceleration is due to some not-yet-understood "dark sector". There has been a considerable number of theoretical models constructed in an attempt to provide an "understanding" of the dark sector: dark energy and modified gravity theories. The proliferation of modified gravity and dark energy models has brought to light the need to construct a "generic" way to parameterize the dark sector. We will discuss our new way of approaching this problem, looking at linearised perturbations. Our approach is inspired by that taken in particle physics, where the most general modifications to the standard model are written down for a given field content that is compatible with some assumed symmetry (which we take to be isotropy of the background spatial sections). Our emphasis is on constructing a theoretically motivated toolkit which can be used to extract meaningful information about the dark sector (such as its field content). We find, for example, that the observational impact of very broad classes of theories can be encoded by a very small (less than 5) number of parameters. It is these parameters which we hope to measure with observational data.
