Nonperturbative Amplifications of Inhomogeneities in a Self-Reproducing Universe
Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde, Arthur Mezhlumian
We investigate the distribution of energy density in a stationary self-reproducing inflationary universe. We show that the main fraction of volume of the universe in a state with a…
GRAVITY AND GLOBAL SYMMETRIES
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde +1
There exists a widely spread notion that gravitational effects can strongly violate global symmetries. It may lead to many important consequences. We will argue, in particular, tha…
Do We Live in the Center of the World?
Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde, Arthur Mezhlumian
We investigate the distribution of energy density in a stationary self-reproducing inflationary universe. We show that the main fraction of volume of the universe in a state with a…
Topological Defects as Seeds for Eternal Inflation
Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde
We investigate the global structure of inflationary universe both by analytical methods and by computer simulations of stochastic processes in the early Universe. We show that the…
Fluctuations of the Gravitational Constant in the Inflationary Brans-Dicke Cosmology
Juan Garcia-Bellido, Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde
According to the Brans--Dicke theory, the value of the gravitational constant G which we measure at present is determined by the value of the Brans--Dicke scalar field ϕat the end…
From the Big Bang Theory to the Theory of a Stationary Universe
Andrei Linde, Dmitri Linde, Arthur Mezhlumian
We consider chaotic inflation in the theories with the effective potentials phi^n and e^{αϕ}. In such theories inflationary domains containing sufficiently large and homogeneous sc…
Towards the Theory of Cosmological Phase Transitions
M. Dine, R. Leigh, P. Huet +2
We discuss recent progress (and controversies) in the theory of finite temperature phase transitions. This includes the structure of the effective potential at a finite temperature…
