Dynamical Inflation and Vacuum Selection

TL;DR

This paper explores a gauge theory-based inflationary model that influences vacuum selection and the fundamental symmetries of our universe, including its dimensionality.

Contribution

It introduces a novel inflationary scenario where gauge dynamics determine vacuum properties and spacetime symmetries, offering insights into universe's dimensionality.

Findings

Gauge theory dynamics can drive inflationary expansion.

Vacuum selection impacts the observed spacetime symmetries.

The model suggests a mechanism for determining the universe's dimensions.

Abstract

We consider an inflationary scenario where the energy scale of inflation stems from gauge theory dynamics. We point out its generic implications on vacuum selection of our universe, in particular, on determination of spacetime symmetries including its dimensions.
