Theoretical Uncertainties in Inflationary Predictions
With present and future observations becoming of higher and higher quality, it is timely and necessary to investigate the most significant theoretical uncertainties in the predictions of inflation. We show that our ignorance of the entire history of the Universe, including the physics of reheating after inflation, translates to considerable errors in observationally relevant parameters. Using t...
متن کاملInflation of conditional predictions.
The authors report 7 experiments indicating that conditional predictions--the assessed probability that a certain outcome will occur given a certain condition--tend to be markedly inflated. The results suggest that this inflation derives in part from backward activation in which the target outcome highlights aspects of the condition that are consistent with that outcome, thus supporting the pla...
متن کاملEternal Inflation With Non-Inflationary Pocket Universes
Eternal inflation produces pocket universes with all physically allowed vacua and histories. Some of these pocket universes might contain a phase of slow-roll inflation, some might undergo cycles of cosmological evolution and some might look like the galilean genesis or other “emergent” universe scenarios. Which one of these types of universe we are most likely to inhabit depends on the measure...
متن کاملINFLATION AFTER COBE Lectures on Inflationary Cosmology∗
In these lectures I review the standard hot big-bang cosmology, emphasizing its successes, its shortcomings, and its major challenge—a detailed understanding of the formation of structure in the Universe. I then discuss the motivations for—and the fundamentals of—inflationary cosmology, particularly emphasizing the quantum origin of metric (density and gravity-wave) perturbations. Inflation add...
متن کاملMinimal Theoretical Uncertainties in Inflationary Predictions
During inflation, primordial energy density fluctuations are created from approximate de Sitter vacuum quantum fluctuations redshifted out of the horizon after which they are frozen as perturbations in the background curvature. In this paper we demonstrate that there exists an intrinsic theoretical uncertainty in the inflationary predictions for the curvature perturbations due to the failure of...
