Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This volume is the only monograph covering the exciting and dazzling recent developments in quantum cosmology, including the theory of the "multiverse" and eternal inflation pioneered by A Vilenkin, A Linde, S W Hawking, and others.

Inflation and Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Reports, 2000
The basic workings of inflationary models are summarized, along with the arguments that strongly suggest that our universe is the product of inflation. The mechanisms that lead to eternal inflation in both new and chaotic models are described. Although the infinity of pocket universes produced by eternal inflation are unobservable, it is argued that ...

Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001
Abstract: The basic workings of inflationary models are summarized, along with the arguments that strongly suggest that our universe is the product of inflation. It is argued that essentially all inflationary models lead to (future‐)eternal inflation, which implies that an infinite number of pocket universes are produced.

Eternal Inflation and the Refined Swampland Conjecture

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2019
I apply recently proposed swampland conjectures to eternal inflation in single-scalar field theories. Eternal inflation is a phase of infinite self-reproduction of a quasi-de Sitter universe which has been argued to be a generic consequence of ...

Eternal Hilltop Inflation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2016
We consider eternal inflation in hilltop-type inflation models, favored by current data, in which the scalar field in inflation rolls off of a local maximum of the potential. Unlike chaotic or plateau-type inflation models, in hilltop inflation the region of field space which supports eternal inflation is finite, and the expansion rate $H_{EI}$ during ...

Is Non-Minimal Inflation Eternal? [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2010
The possibility that the non-minimal coupling inflation could be eternal is investigated. We calculate the quantum fluctuation of the inflaton in a Hubble time and find that it has the same value as in the minimal case in the slow-roll limit. Armed with this result, we have studied some concrete non-minimal inflationary models including the chaotic ...

Measure Problem for Eternal and Non-Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2010
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
