Eternal inflation and localization on the landscape

Journal Article Podolsky, Dmitry ; Enqvist, Kari - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We model essential features of eternal inflation on the landscape of a dense discretuum of vacua by the potential V({phi}) = V{sub 0}+{delta}V({phi}), where |{delta}V({phi})| << V{sub 0} is random. We find that the diffusion of the distribution function {rho}({phi},t) of the inflaton expectation value in different Hubble patches may be suppressed due to the effect analogous to the Anderson localization in disordered quantum systems. At late times only the localized part of the distribution function {rho}({phi},t) survives which leads to dynamical selection principle on the landscape. As a result, there exist such islands on the landscape that the probabilitymore »« less

Global-local duality in eternal inflation

Journal Article Bousso, Raphael ; Yang, I-S - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We prove that the light-cone time cutoff on the multiverse defines the same probabilities as a causal patch with initial conditions in the longest-lived metastable vacuum. This establishes the equivalence of two measures of eternal inflation which naively appear very different (though both are motivated by holography). The duality can be traced to an underlying geometric relation which we identify.

Measure problem for eternal and non-eternal inflation

Journal Article Linde, Andrei ; Noorbala, Mahdiyar - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study various probability measures for eternal inflation by applying their regularization prescriptions to models where inflation is not eternal. For simplicity we work with a toy model describing inflation that can interpolate between eternal and non-eternal inflation by continuous variation of a parameter. We investigate whether the predictions of four different measures (proper time, scale factor cutoff, stationary and causal diamond) change continuously with the change of this parameter. We will show that only for the stationary measure the predictions change continuously. For the proper-time and the scale factor cutoff, the predictions are strongly discontinuous. For the causal diamondmore »« less

Sharp predictions from eternal inflation patches in D-brane inflation

Journal Article Hertog, Thomas ; Janssen, Oliver - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We numerically generate the six-dimensional landscape of D3-brane inflation and identify patches of eternal inflation near sufficiently flat inflection points of the potential. We show that reasonable measures that select patches of eternal inflation in the landscape yield sharp predictions for the spectral properties of primordial perturbations on observable scales. These include a scalar tilt of .936, a running of the scalar tilt −.00103, undetectably small tensors and non-Gaussianity, and no observable spatial curvature. Our results explicitly demonstrate that precision cosmology probes the combination of the statistical properties of the string landscape and the measure implied by the universe's quantummore » state.« less

SuperCool Inflation: A Graceful Exit from Eternal Inflation at LHC Scales and Below

Journal Article Spolyar, Douglas - TBD

In SuperCool Inflation (SCI), a technically natural and thermal effect gives a graceful exit to old inflation. The Universe starts off hot and trapped in a false vacuum. The Universe supercools and inflates solving the horizon and flatness problems. The inflaton couples to a set of QCD like fermions. When the fermions' non-Abelian gauge group freezes, the Yukawa terms generate a tadpole for the inflaton, which removes the barrier. Inflation ends, and the Universe rapidly reheats. The thermal effect is technically natural in the same way that the QCD scale is technically natural. In fact, Witten used a similar mechanismmore »« less
