Infrared Divergences in dS/CFT
T. Banks, L. Mannelli, W. Fischler
dS/CFT gives a perturbatively gauge invariant definition of particle masses in de Sitter (dS) space. We show, in a toy model in which the graviton is replaced with a minimally coup…
The Holographic Approach to Cosmology
T. Banks, W. Fischler
We review the successes and challenges of the holographic approach to cosmology. The model predicts an exactly scale invariant fluctuation spectrum with long and short distance cut…
An upper bound on the number of e-foldings
T. Banks, W. Fischler
If the present acceleration of the universe is due to an asymptotically de Sitter universe with small cosmological constant, and the principle of Cosmological Complementarity is va…
Black Crunch
T. Banks, W. Fischler
We study the growth of fluctuations in collapsing cosmologies, extending old work of Lifshitz and Khalatnikov. As examples of systems where the fluctuations have a different compos…

An Holographic Cosmology
T. Banks, W. Fischler
We present a new cosmological model, based on the holographic principle, which shares many of the virtues of inflation. The very earliest semiclassical era of the universe is domin…
