abstract

We consider implications of the quantum extension of the inflationary no hair theorem. We show that when the quantum state of inflation is picked to ensure the validity of the EFT of fluctuations, it takes only ${\cal O}(10)$ efolds of inflation to erase the effects of the initial distortions on the inflationary observables. Thus the Bunch-Davies vacuum is a very strong quantum attractor during inflation. We also consider bouncing universes, where the initial conditions seem to linger much longer and the quantum `balding' by evolution appears to be less efficient.

  1. Discretely Evanescent Dark Energy

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark energy is proposed to be the vacuum energy of a hidden QCD-like sector, set by a topological phase, which decays in discrete membrane-nucleation steps and may vanish within roughly the current age of the universe.

  2. Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In multi-stage axion monodromy inflation, an interruption 50–52 efolds before the end of inflation produces a narrow gravitational-wave background peaked at ~10–300 kHz, at strains near proposed detector sensitivities.
