Explanation for why the Early Universe was Stable and Dominated by the Standard Model
Mark P. Hertzberg, Mudit Jain
The Standard Model (SM) possesses an instability at high scales that would be catastrophic during or just after inflation, and yet no new physics has been seen to alter this. Furth…
Eternal Inflation and Reheating in the Presence of the Standard Model Higgs Field
Mudit Jain, Mark P. Hertzberg
We study the details of eternal inflation in the presence of a spectator Higgs field within the framework of the minimal Standard Model. We have recently shown that in the presence…
Ground State Wave Function Overlap in Superconductors and Superfluids
Mark P. Hertzberg, Mudit Jain
In order to elucidate the quantum ground state structure of non-relativistic condensates, we explicitly construct the ground state wave function for multiple species of bosons, des…
Statistics of Inflating Regions in Eternal Inflation
Mudit Jain, Mark P. Hertzberg
We compute the distribution of sizes of inflating and non-inflating regions in an eternally inflating Universe. As a first illustrative problem, we study a simple scenario of an et…
