Future Foam
Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel, Yasuhiro Sekino +4
We study pocket universes which have zero cosmological constant and non-trivial boundary topology. These arise from bubble collisions in eternal inflation. Using a simplified dust…
Boltzmann babies in the proper time measure
Raphael Bousso, Ben Freivogel, I-Sheng Yang
After commenting briefly on the role of the typicality assumption in science, we advocate a phenomenological approach to the cosmological measure problem. Like any other theory, a…
Geometric Metastability, Quivers and Holography
Mina Aganagic, Christopher Beem, Ben Freivogel
We use large N duality to study brane/anti-brane configurations on a class of Calabi-Yau manifolds. With only branes present, the Calabi-Yau manifolds in question give rise to N=2…
A Two Fluid Description of the Quantum Hall Soliton
Ben Freivogel, Leonard Susskind, Nicolaos Toumbas
We show that the Quantum Hall Soliton constructed in \cite{giantbob} is stable under small perturbations. We find that creating quasiparticles actually lowers the energy of the sys…
