We suggest a new cosmological scenario which naturally guarantees the smallness of scalar masses and VEVs, without invoking supersymmetry or any other (non-gravitationaly coupled) new physics at low energies. In our framework, the scalar masses undergo discrete jumps due to nucleation of closed branes during (eternal) inflation. The crucial point is that the step size of variation decreases in the direction of decreasing scalar mass. This scenario yields exponentially large domains with a distribution of scalar masses, which is sharply peaked around a hierarchically small value of the mass. This value is the "attractor point" of the cosmological evolution.

Boiling After the Dust Settles: Constraining First-Order Phase Transitions During Dark Energy Domination
CMB anisotropies from stochastic bubble nucleation constrain late-time phase transitions to release less than ~1% of dark energy when β/H⋆≲25, much tighter than Hubble-budget limits.

Weak Scale Triggers in the SMEFT
No weak scale triggers exist in the SMEFT up to dimension six (and likely eight) that can solve the hierarchy problem far above the weak scale.

Emergent Dark Matter
Dark matter is modeled as the emergent massive in-medium state of a 3-form gauge field that otherwise behaves as dark energy.

$\phi$-Dwarfs: White Dwarfs probe Quadratically Coupled Scalars
White dwarf mass-radius data exclude large parameter space for ultralight scalars quadratically coupled to fermions by predicting forbidden radius gaps and mass shifts toward the Chandrasekhar limit or altered maximum masses.

A Quantal Theory of Restoration of Strong CP Symmetry
A mechanism is proposed where the CP violating phase relaxes in discrete steps via nucleation of membranes that discharge the magnetic dual of a 4-form flux, with bubbles colliding and percolating near the chiral symm...

Minimal Electroweak Baryogenesis via Domain Walls
Domain wall cores in the minimal Z2-symmetric singlet extension can restore electroweak symmetry and, while sweeping through space, could produce the matter-antimatter asymmetry in a parameter region far lighter and m...

Wiggly dilaton: a landscape of spontaneously broken scale invariance
A 5D axion-like field with periodic brane potentials gives the dilaton a wiggly potential with multiple vacua, enabling relaxion-like or light-dilaton scenarios at the cost of fine-tuning.

Eternal Inflation in Swampy Landscapes
Eternal inflation persists in landscapes where de Sitter vacua are rare or absent, via flyover transitions between isolated dS vacua or inflating bubble walls nucleated around saddle points.

Chaotic inflation with four-form couplings
A four-form flux that couples both to a pseudo-scalar inflaton and to gravity produces a plateau inflaton potential whose spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio agree with current CMB data.

Relaxation of Higgs mass and cosmological constant with four-form fluxes and reheating
Four-form flux can relax the Higgs mass and cosmological constant, and a new scalar from the induced R^2 term can act as the inflaton to reheat the Universe.

Cosmological Relaxation of Higgs Mass Before and After LHC and Naturalness
The paper restates the claim that the Higgs mass is natural because the observed vacuum is an infinite-entropy attractor selected by eternal inflation, making TeV-scale stabilizing new physics unnecessary.
