Observational implications of cosmological event horizons
TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that the imprints of the inflationary perturbations thermalize during the late acceleration of the universe and they “inflate away, just like the initial inhomogeneities during ordinary inflation, making our era a most opportune time to study cosmology.About:

Observational consequences of a landscape
Ben Freivogel,Matthew Kleban,Matthew Kleban,María Rodríguez Martínez,María Rodríguez Martínez,Leonard Susskind +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the implications of the landscape paradigm for the large scale properties of the universe and argue that the overshoot problem, which in other settings would make it difficult to achieve slow roll inflation, actually favors such a cosmology, and they consider anthropic bounds on the value of the curvature and on the parameters of inflation.

Cosmology and the S matrix
TL;DR: In this article, conditions for the existence of asymptotic observables in cosmology were studied, and it was shown that no realistic cosmology permits the global observations associated with an S-matrix.
Cosmology for Grand Unified Theories with Radiatively Induced Symmetry Breaking
TL;DR: In this article, the treatment of first-order phase transitions for standard grand unified theories is shown to break down for models with radiatively induced spontaneous symmetry breaking, leading to an explanation of the cosmological homogeneity, flatness, and monopole puzzles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eternal inflation: the inside story
TL;DR: In this paper, a causal patch description of eternal inflation was developed, motivated by the lessons of black hole complementarity, where the observer cannot ascribe a semiclassical geometry to regions outside his horizon, because the large-scale metric is governed by the fluctuations of quantum fields.

Census Taking in the Hat: FRW/CFT Duality
Yasuhiro Sekino,Leonard Susskind +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a holographic description of eternal inflation is developed, where the observations of a census taker in the final vacuum can be organized into a dual conformal field theory that lives on the asymptotic boundary of space, referred to as FRW/CFT duality.
