Supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld axionic inflation and non-Gaussianity
An analysis is given of inflation based on a supersymmetric Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action in an axionic landscape. The DBI model we discuss involves a landscape of chiral superfields with one U(1) shift symmetry which is broken by instanton type non ...

Dimensional reduction and (Anti) de Sitter bounds
Dimensional reduction has proven to be a surprisingly powerful tool for delineating the boundary between the string landscape and the swampland. Bounds from the Weak Gravity Conjecture and the Repulsive Force Conjecture, for instance, are exactly ...

Eternal inflation and the initial singularity [PDF]
It is shown that a physically reasonable spacetime that is eternally inflating to the future must possess an initial singularity.

Making the Intangible Tangible: Organizational Capital and Stock Liquidity
Abstract We propose an intangibility‐driven stock liquidity hypothesis and explore the role of organizational capital in influencing stock liquidity. Using a sample of 42,682 firm‐year observations, we uncover compelling evidence that firms' intangible organizational capital boosts stock liquidity.

Quantum cosmology, eternal inflation, and swampland conjectures
In light of the recent swampland conjectures, we explore quantum cosmology and eternal inflation beyond the slow roll regime. We consider a model of a closed universe with a scalar field $\phi$ in the framework of tunneling approach to quantum cosmology.

Abstract The forthcoming general election will be the most consequential electoral contest for the Republic of Ireland in a century. The polity is situated in truly novel territory with the potential for an historic first: the incoming of a Sinn Féin‐led, left‐wing government.

Investigations into the Conditions Necessary for Stochastic Eternal Inflation
Theories of cosmological inflation, an early exponential expansion of the universe, have solved the horizon, flatness, and monopole problems in addition to successfully predicting properties of the fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background.

The theory of eternal inflation — according to which our observable universe is just one bubble within an endlessly self-replicating multiverse — presents not only a physical but also a hermeneutic challenge.
