Eternal inflation and the quantum birth of cosmic structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
We consider the eternal inflation scenario of the slow-roll/chaotic type with the additional element of an objective collapse of the wave function. The incorporation of this new agent to the traditional inflationary setting might represent a possible ...

No-boundary measure in the regime of eternal inflation

open access: yes, 2010
The no-boundary wave function (NBWF) specifies a measure for prediction in cosmology that selects inflationary histories and remains well behaved for spatially large or infinite universes. This paper explores the predictions of the NBWF for linear scalar

Counting pockets with world lines in eternal inflation

open access: yes, 2006
We consider the long standing puzzle of how to obtain meaningful probabilities in eternal inflation. We demonstrate a new algorithm for computing the probability distribution of pocket universe types, given a multivacua inflationary potential.

A Betrayal in the Family: An Inhibitor or Stimulus for Business Model Innovation?

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Business‐focused betrayals perpetrated by family members in managerial and decision‐making positions can devastate family businesses, questioning their assumptions about trust and how they conduct the business. Such betrayals ignite tensions between family and business logics, potentially causing paralysis and protection of ...

Dynamic Capabilities as Drivers of Circular Business Models: Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships

open access: yesJournal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Academic Summary Despite the urgent need for a circular economy, firms' transition from linear to circular business models (CBMs) remains slow. While previous research suggests that dynamic capabilities are the key drivers of this transition, it assumes a direct link, overlooking that these capabilities can facilitate change but do not ...

TCC in the interior of moduli space and its implications for the string landscape and cosmology

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We consider the classical Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solutions that describe a universe undergoing a transition from an accelerating expansion phase in the past to an eternal decelerating expansion phase in the future, driven by a scalar field evolving ...

City of God and the Duty of Just Memory

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.

Eternal inflation predicts that time will end

open access: yes, 2010
Present treatments of eternal inflation regulate infinities by imposing a geometric cutoff. We point out that some matter systems reach the cutoff in finite time. This implies a nonzero probability for a novel type of catastrophe.
