Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape II: CMB and LSS Signatures
R. Holman, Laura Mersini-Houghton, Tomo Takahashi
This is the second paper in the series that confronts predictions of a model of the landscape with cosmological observations. We show here how the modifications of the Friedmann eq…
Cosmological Avatars of the Landscape I: Bracketing the SUSY Breaking Scale
R. Holman, L. Mersini-Houghton, Tomo Takahashi
We investigate the effects of quantum entanglement between our horizon patch and others due to the tracing out of long wavelength modes in the wavefunction of the Universe as defin…
Cosmological Implications of the String Theory Landscape
Laura Mersini-Houghton
Progress in string theory has resulted in a whole landscape of vacua solutions.In this talk I describe a proposal for exploring the cosmological implications of the landscape, base…
The Arrow of Time Forbids a Positive Cosmological Constant
Laura Mersini-Houghton
Motivated by the mounting evidence for dark energy, here we explore the consequences of a fundamental cosmological constant for our universe. We show that when the gravitationa…
