abstract

In this paper we consider the implications of a cosmological constant for the evolution of the universe, under a set of assumptions motivated by the holographic and horizon complementarity principles. We discuss the ``causal patch" description of spacetime required by this framework, and present some simple examples of cosmologies described this way. We argue that these assumptions inevitably lead to very deep paradoxes, which seem to require major revisions of our usual assumptions.

Holographic complexity of de-Sitter black holes

hep-th · 2026-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In SdS black hole holography, CV and CV2.0 complexities grow linearly while CA growth vanishes due to finite action, with matching rates between static patch and dS/CFT schemes.

Toward a Phenomenologically Acceptable Quantum Cyclic Universe

gr-qc · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

A finite-dimensional quantum model with commensurable energy eigenvalues and minimum-entropy initial condition yields exact periodicity and a distinguished entropy minimum that may represent the Big Bang while suppressing Boltzmann Brains.

A gentle introduction to the cosmological multiverse

physics.pop-ph · 2026-05-26 · unverdicted · novelty 0.0

An accessible overview of general relativity, the cosmological constant problem, and the multiverse as a hypothetical solution, while noting the unresolved measure problem of eternal inflation.
