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 ...

Race‐Centred Me‐Searching for Racialised Asian Researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesKōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 3, September 2026.
‘Me‐search’, or the intentional process of exploring one's positionality, is increasingly recognised as foundational to decolonising and anti‐racist research.

Preemptive Entry and Technology Diffusion: The Market for Drive‐In Theaters

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 471-494, Autumn (Fall) 2026.

We first test a key prediction of dynamic entry games: Entry preemption is most relevant in intermediate‐sized markets, where firms face highest uncertainty about future entry. Using US drive‐in theater market (1945–1957) data, we find robust evidence for this non‐monotonic relationship ...

Marginally Eternal Inflation

open access: yes, 2007
We examine the amount of parameter tuning to make slow-roll inflation marginally eternal by considering an R-invariant chaotic inflation as an example of one-parameter tuning in supergravity. The primordial inflation turns out to be possibly marginal in such a setup.

Wind Masculinities: Extractive, Caste, and Nationalist Rule in Rural India

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper shows how India's wind electricity regime does not simply decarbonize electricity; it reorganizes power through a distinctive wind masculinity—a caste‐coded, infrastructural mode of rule that keeps money, machines, and people moving.
