Conclusions“stuff” non-linearly realizes space-time symmetries (usual procedures don’t work without being clever)
in EFT one needs to identify 1) d.o.f. and 2) symmetries: coset helps with both
general procedure to couple the Goldstones to gravity
straightforward and exhaustive procedure
SPIN: made simpler? new expansion parameter to assist in computations
straightforward construction of inflation
Applications: cosmology, plasma physics, exotic condensed matter states, etc. all in a model independent fashion
