Predictions in Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Invited review for a LNP volume on inflationary cosmology. Figures included. Cosmetic changes, references reformatted according to "apsrev" Bibtex style to avoid citation ordering problems.

Axion landscape and natural inflation

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
Multiple axions form a landscape in the presence of various shift symmetry breaking terms. Eternal inflation populates the axion landscape, continuously creating new universes by bubble nucleation.

Sliding naturalness: cosmological selection of the weak scale

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We present a cosmological solution to the electroweak hierarchy problem. After discussing general features of cosmological approaches to naturalness, we extend the Standard Model with two light scalars very weakly coupled to the Higgs and present the ...

Błok i Jung: inflacja ego („Wiersze o Przepięknej Pani”)

open access: yesStudia Interkulturowe Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, 2021
According to depth psychology, whose pioneer is C.G. Jung, inflation is an emotional state, most often triggered by a dream, manifested by an increase in sexual urge, a feeling of higher energy, power and fascination. Ego inflation can have a dual effect

Holographic Probabilities in Eternal Inflation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2006
In the global description of eternal inflation, probabilities for vacua are notoriously ambiguous. The local point of view is preferred by holography and naturally picks out a simple probability measure. It is insensitive to large expansion factors or lifetimes, and so resolves a recently noted paradox.

The String Theory Landscape

open access: yesUniverse, 2019
String/M theory is formulated in 10 and 11 space-time dimensions; in order to describe our universe, we must postulate that six or seven of the spatial dimensions form a small compact manifold. In 1985, Candelas et al.

Entropic Inflation in Presence of Scalar Field

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
In spirit of the recently proposed four-parameter generalized entropy of apparent horizon, we investigate inflationary cosmology where the matter field inside of the horizon is dominated by a scalar field with a power law potential (i.e., the form of ϕn ...

Eternal Inflation: Prohibited by Quantum Gravity?

open access: yes, 2008
We investigate how eternal inflation is affected by quantum gravity effects. We consider general features of quantum gravity, such as renormalizability, complementarity, minimal length, definition of observables, and weak gravity conjecture.

Inflationary resolution of the initial singularity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
The inflationary paradigm has transformed our understanding of the early universe; yet most inflationary models are considered geodesically past-incomplete, suggesting a beginning of time or a primordial Big Bang singularity. The Borde-Guth-Vilenkin (BGV)
