Tail diversity from inflation
Sina Hooshangi, Mohammad Hossein Namjoo, Mahdiyar Noorbala
The tail of the distribution of primordial fluctuations (corresponding to the likelihood of realization of large fluctuations) is of interest, from both theoretical and observation…
Quantum Diffusion in Sharp Transition to Non-Slow-Roll Phase
Nahid Ahmadi, Mahdiyar Noorbala, Niloufar Feyzabadi +2
Transitions between different inflationary slow-roll scenarios are known to provide short non-slow-roll periods with non-trivial consequences. We consider the effect of quantum dif…
On the Second Law of Thermodynamics: The Significance of Coarse-Graining and the Role of Decoherence
Mahdiyar Noorbala
We take up the question why the initial entropy in the universe was small, in the context of evolution of the entropy of a classical system. We note that coarse-graining is a an im…
Geocentric cosmology: a new look at the measure problem
Mahdiyar Noorbala, Vitaly Vanchurin
We show that most of cutoff measures of the multiverse violate some of the basic properties of probability theory when applied repeatedly to predict the results of local experiment…
