The theory of the inflationary multiverse changes the way we think about our place in the world. According to its most popular version, our world may consist of infinitely many exponentially large parts, exhibiting different sets of low-energy laws of physics. Since these parts are extremely large, the interior of each of them behaves as if it were a separate universe, practically unaffected by the rest of the world. This picture, combined with the theory of eternal inflation and anthropic considerations, may help to solve many difficult problems of modern physics, including the cosmological constant problem. In this article I will briefly describe this theory and provide links to the some hard to find papers written during the first few years of the development of the inflationary multiverse scenario.

  1. De Sitter space constraints on brane tensions and couplings

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Festina Lente bound on particle masses is generalized to p-branes with world-volume Chern-Simons couplings, giving tension bounds in de Sitter space that string theory D-branes satisfy.

  2. It\^{o}, Stratonovich, and zoom-in schemes in stochastic inflation

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    An alternating drift-and-kick 'zoom-in' scheme for stochastic inflation is equivalent to the Itô interpretation, and the Itô-Stratonovich difference vanishes in the full non-Markovian setup.
