Simulating the Universe(s) III: Observables for the full bubble collision spacetime
Matthew C. Johnson, Carroll L. Wainwright, Anthony Aguirre +1
This is the third paper in a series establishing a quantitative relation between inflationary scalar field potential landscapes and the relic perturbations left by the collision be…
Simulating the universe(s) II: phenomenology of cosmic bubble collisions in full General Relativity
Carroll L. Wainwright, Matthew C. Johnson, Anthony Aguirre +1
Observing the relics of collisions between bubble universes would provide direct evidence for the existence of an eternally inflating Multiverse; the non-observation of such events…
Singlet-Catalyzed Electroweak Phase Transitions and Precision Higgs Studies
Stefano Profumo, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf, Carroll L. Wainwright +1
We update the phenomenology of gauge singlet extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector and their implications for the electroweak phase transition. Considering the introductio…
Cosmological Phase Transitions and their Properties in the NMSSM
Jonathan Kozaczuk, Stefano Profumo, Laurel Stephenson Haskins +1
We study cosmological phase transitions in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) in light of the Higgs discovery. We use an effective field theory approach to c…
Simulating the universe(s): from cosmic bubble collisions to cosmological observables with numerical relativity
Carroll L. Wainwright, Matthew C. Johnson, Hiranya V. Peiris +3
The theory of eternal inflation in an inflaton potential with multiple vacua predicts that our universe is one of many bubble universes nucleating and growing inside an ever-expand…
Holographic Fluctuations from Unitary de Sitter Invariant Field Theory
Tom Banks, Willy Fischler, T. J. Torres +1
We continue the study of inflationary fluctuations in Holographic Space Time models of inflation. We argue that the holographic theory of inflation provides a physical context for…
