A Consistent Effective Theory of Long-Wavelength Cosmological Perturbations
Sean M. Carroll, Stefan Leichenauer, Jason Pollack
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and sugges…

Attractor Solutions in Scalar-Field Cosmology
Grant N. Remmen, Sean M. Carroll
Models of cosmological scalar fields often feature "attractor solutions" to which the system evolves for a wide range of initial conditions. There is some tension between this well…

Can the Higgs Boson Save Us From the Menace of the Boltzmann Brains?
Kimberly K. Boddy, Sean M. Carroll
The standard CDM model provides an excellent fit to current cosmological observations but suffers from a potentially serious Boltzmann Brain problem. If the universe enters a de…
