We study, using Mean Curvature Flow methods, 3+1 dimensional cosmologies with a positive cosmological constant, matter satisfying the dominant and the strong energy conditions, and with spatial slices that can be foliated by 2-dimensional surfaces that are the closed orbits of a symmetry group. If these surfaces have non-positive Euler characteristic (or in the case of 2-spheres, if the initial 2-spheres are large enough) and also if the initial spatial slice is expanding everywhere, then we prove that asymptotically the spacetime becomes physically indistinguishable from de Sitter space on arbitrarily large regions of spacetime. This holds true notwithstanding the presence of initial arbitrarily-large density fluctuations.

Probability of the Initial Conditions for Inflation and Slow Contraction
A probability estimate for scalar-field homogeneity at the onset of inflation and slow contraction concludes that, after optimizing over initial spectra, inflation is vastly more likely than ekpyrosis to have the requ...

Inflation, Open Universes, and Dark Energy
A slightly open universe with Ω_k ≈ 3×10^{-3} pulls n_s down to ~0.969, reconciling plateau inflation models with combined CMB and DESI data.
