Implication of island for inflation and primordial perturbations

Abstract

It is usually thought that the efolds number of inflation must be bounded by its de Sitter entropy, otherwise we will have an information paradox. However, in light of the island rule for computing the entanglement entropy, we show that such a bound might be nonexistent, while the information flux of primordial perturbation modes the observer after inflation is able to detect follows a Page curve. In corresponding eternally inflating spacetime, it seems that our slow-roll inflation patch is accompanied with a neighbourly collapsed patch (eventually developing into a black hole) so that its Hawking radiation might be just our primordial perturbations. Accordingly, the perturbation spectrum we observed will present a ``Page-like" suppression at large scale.
