In the first week of September, Prof. Misao Sasaki, Prof. Shi Pi and Prof. Alex Vikman will visit the ITP Hannover. We take this opportunity to organize a one-day workshop on cosmology with gravitational waves. We will discuss hot topics such as how to probe new physics during and after inflation with gravitational waves, including the production of PBHs, the reheating of the universe from PBH evaporation, and domain wall formation. We will also discuss what we can learn from the universe's large-scale structure with GW observations and prospects to detect high-frequency GWs.
