Black hole production, eternal inflation, and information in quasi-de Sitter space

Abstract

When the slow-roll parameter ${\epsilon }_H$ is smaller than $H^2/M_{\mathrm{Pl}}^2$, the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton after the horizon crossing are large enough to realize eternal inflation. Whereas they do not generate a sufficient amount of density fluctuation of the inflaton to produce the black hole in quasi-de Sitter space, they can also generate the sizeable density fluctuation of the radiation when the number of degrees of freedom increases rapidly in time, as predicted by the distance conjecture. We argue that the condition that the density fluctuation of the radiation is not large enough to produce the black hole until the end of inflation is equivalent to the no eternal inflation condition. When the radiation emitted by the horizon does not produce the black hole, even if the number of degrees of freedom increases in time, the information paradox does not arise for ${\epsilon }_H$ larger than $10^{-7}(H^2/M_{\mathrm{Pl}}^2)$ and time scale shorter than $10^4(M_{\mathrm{Pl}}/H^2)$. Regardless of the presence of the information paradox, a static observer cannot retrieve a sufficient amount of information, which is consistent with the complementarity.
