Life at the interface of particle physics and string theory
AN Schellekens - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2013 - APS
If the results of the first LHC run are not betraying us, many decades of particle physics are
culminating in a complete and consistent theory for all nongravitational physics: the standard …

[HTML][HTML] Inflationary paradigm after Planck 2013
Abstract Models of cosmic inflation posit an early phase of accelerated expansion of the
universe, driven by the dynamics of one or more scalar fields in curved spacetime. Though …

Cobordism and bubbles of anything in the string landscape
B Friedrich, A Hebecker, J Walcher - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study bubble of nothing decays and their reverse processes, the creation of
vacua through 'bubbles of something', in models of the Universe based on string theory …

Self-organised localisation
A bstract We describe a new phenomenon in quantum cosmology: self-organised
localisation. When the fundamental parameters of a theory are functions of a scalar field …

A status report on the observability of cosmic bubble collisions
A Aguirre, MC Johnson - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
In the picture of eternal inflation as driven by a scalar potential with multiple minima, our
observable universe resides inside one of many bubbles formed from transitions out of a …

Making predictions in the multiverse
B Freivogel - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
I describe reasons to think we are living in an eternally inflating multiverse where the
observable'constants' of nature vary from place to place. The major obstacle to making …

Boltzmann brains and the scale-factor cutoff measure of the multiverse
To make predictions for an eternally inflating “multiverse,” one must adopt a procedure for
regulating its divergent spacetime volume. Recently, a new test of such spacetime measures …

Physical theories, eternal inflation, and the quantum universe
Y Nomura - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 - Springer
A bstract Infinities in eternal inflation have long been plaguing cosmology, making any
predictions highly sensitive to how they are regulated. The problem exists already at the …
