Tricritical quantum point and inflationary cosmology
arXiv:1205.4710 · doi:10.1142/S0218271812420187
Abstract
The holographic protection due to inflationary cosmology is a conse- quence of a quantum tricritical point. In this scenario a closed spacetime solution transitions into an inflationary de Sitter spacetime. Saturation of the holographic entropy bound is prevented by the phase change in the topology of the early universe.
