We study boundary crossing probability in the context of stochastic inflation. We prove that for a generic multi-field inflationary potential, the probability that the inflaton reaches infinitely far regions in the field space is critically dependent on the number of fields, being nonzero for more than two fields, and zero otherwise. We also provide several examples where the boundary crossing probability can be calculated exactly, most notably, for a particular landscape of a two-field model with a multi-well potential.

  1. Multifield stochastic inflation: Relevance of number of fields in statistical moments

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Stochastic effects in multifield inflation make the number of fields relevant for e-fold statistics and power spectrum, with a general formula for higher moments and an upper bound on fields for successful inflation.

  2. Deviations from Gaussian White Noise in Stochastic Inflation

    gr-qc 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Relaxing the sharp cutoff or the Bunch-Davies initial state in stochastic inflation makes the noise colored, and relaxing the initial state also makes it non-Gaussian.
