Populating the Whole Landscape
arXiv:1108.0119 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.171301
Abstract
Every de Sitter vacuum can transition to every other de Sitter vacuum despite any obstacle, despite intervening anti-de Sitter sinks, despite not being connected by an instanton. Eternal inflation populates the whole landscape.
