Quintessence: From String Theory to Observations and Back

Explore the fascinating connection between string theory and observational cosmology in this 35-minute conference talk by David Andriot at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics. Delve into the concept of quintessence and its implications for both theoretical physics and astronomical observations. Gain insights into how string theory informs our understanding of the universe and how observational data can, in turn, shape theoretical models. Part of the Thematic Programme on "The Landscape vs. the Swampland," this presentation offers a unique perspective on the interplay between abstract mathematical concepts and concrete cosmic phenomena.
