Phenomenology of the Watcher measure in the Bousso-Polchinski landscape
Delia Schwartz-Perlov
We investigate the phenomenology of the "Watcher" measure in the Bousso-Polchinski landscape. We study a small toy landscape analytically. The results are sufficient to allow us to…
Measures for a Transdimensional Multiverse
Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin
The multiverse/landscape paradigm that has emerged from eternal inflation and string theory, describes a large-scale multiverse populated by "pocket universes" which come in a huge…
Transdimensional Tunneling in the Multiverse
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin
Topology-changing transitions between vacua of different effective dimensionality are studied in the context of a 6-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell theory. The landscape of this theor…
Quantum Tunneling in Flux Compactifications
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Delia Schwartz-Perlov, Alexander Vilenkin
We identify instantons representing vacuum decay in a 6-dimensional toy model for string theory flux compactifications, with the two extra dimensions compactified on a sphere. We e…
Anthropic prediction for a large multi-jump landscape
Delia Schwartz-Perlov
The assumption of a flat prior distribution plays a critical role in the anthropic prediction of the cosmological constant. In a previous paper we analytically calculated the distr…
Anthropic prediction in a large toy landscape
Ken D. Olum, Delia Schwartz-Perlov
The successful anthropic prediction of the cosmological constant depends crucially on the assumption of a flat prior distribution. However, previous calculations in simplified land…
