Reheating surface volume renormalization and eternal inflation under broken scale invariance
Min-Seok Seo
Recently, Cotler, Ivo, and Maldacena have shown that under scale invariance, eternal inflation is interpreted as a failure of the reheating surface volume renormalization due to an…
(In)stability of de Sitter vacuum in light of distance conjecture and emergence proposal
Min-Seok Seo
The distance conjecture claims that as the modulus traverses along the trans-Planckian geodesic distance, the effective field theory becomes invalid by a descent of a tower of stat…
Uplift and towers of states in warped throat
Min-Seok Seo
We investigate the connection between the distance conjecture and the uplift potential. For this purpose, we consider the concrete model, the warped deformed conifold embedded into…
Von Neumann algebra description of inflationary cosmology
Min-Seok Seo
We study the von Neumann algebra description of the inflationary quasi-de Sitter (dS) space. Unlike perfect dS space, quasi-dS space allows the nonzero energy flux across the horiz…
Black hole production, eternal inflation, and information in quasi-de Sitter space
Min-Seok Seo
When the slow-roll parameter is smaller than , the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton after the horizon crossing are large enough to realize eternal infla…
Information paradox and island in quasi-de Sitter space
Min-Seok Seo
Whereas a static observer in de Sitter (dS) space detects thermal radiation emitted by the horizon, the dS isometries impose that the radiation is in equilibrium with the backgroun…
