Inflation without a beginning: A Null boundary proposal
@article{Aguirre2003InflationWA, title={Inflation without a beginning: A Null boundary proposal}, author={Anthony Aguirre and Steven Gratton}, journal={Physical Review D}, year={2003}, volume={67}, pages={083515} }
We develop our recent suggestion that inflation may be made past eternal, so that there is no initial cosmological singularity or "beginning of time". Inflation with multiple vacua generically approaches a steady-state statistical distribution of regions at these vacua, and our model follows directly from making this distribution hold at all times. We find that this corresponds (at the semi-classical level) to particularly simple cosmological boundary conditions on an infinite null surface near…

State-to-State Cosmology: A New View on the Cosmological Arrow of Time and the Past Hypothesis

Cosmological boundary conditions for particles and fields are often discussed as a Cauchy problem, in which configurations and conjugate momenta are specified on an “initial” time slice. But this is…
Unitary Evolution and Cosmological Fine-Tuning

Inflationary cosmology attempts to provide a natural explanation for the flatness and homogeneity of the observable universe. In the context of reversible (unitary) evolution, this goal is difficult…

We suggest that spontaneous eternal inflation can provide a natural explanation for the thermodynamic arrow of time, and discuss the underlying assumptions and consequences of this view. In the…

The ''bubble universes'' of Coleman and De Luccia play a crucial role in string cosmology. Since our own Universe is supposed to be of this kind, bubble cosmology should supply definite answers to…

We extend the worldline measure for pocket formation in eternal inflation to allow for time-ordered bubble formation. Such a time-ordering is equivalent to imposing a preferred time-slicing on the…

Ooguri, Vafa, and Verlinde have recently proposed an approach to string cosmology which is based on the idea that cosmological string moduli should be selected by a Hartle-Hawking wave function. They…
Eternal Inflation, past and future

Cosmological inflation, if it occurred, radically alters the picture of the `big bang', which would merely point to reheating at the end of inflation. Moreover, this reheating may be only local, so…
CPT-Symmetric Universe.

The Universe after the big bang is the CPT image of the Universe before it, both classically and quantum mechanically, providing a new interpretation of the cosmological baryon asymmetry, as well as a remarkably economical explanation for thecosmological dark matter.

Why does inflation start at the top of the hill

We show why the universe started in an unstable de Sitter state. The quantum origin of our universe implies one must take a ``top down'' approach to the problem of initial conditions in cosmology, in…

The distribution of energy density in a stationary self-reproducing inflationary universe is investigated to demonstrate that nonperturbative effects in quantum cosmology, at least in principle, may have significant observational consequences, including an apparent violation of the Copernican principle.
