Holography and Eternal Inflation
David A. Lowe, Donald Marolf
TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that eternal inflation can coexist with holographic principles, arguing that holography does not limit the number of past e-foldings in asymptotically de Sitter regions and briefly discusses baby universe production.
Contribution
It shows compatibility between eternal inflation and holography, clarifying holographic bounds on cosmological evolution and baby universe formation.
Findings
Holography does not restrict the number of past e-foldings in de Sitter space.
Eternal inflation is compatible with holographic principles.
Brief comments on holographic limits on baby universe production.
Abstract
We show that eternal inflation is compatible with holography. In particular, we emphasize that if a region is asymptotically de Sitter in the future, holographic arguments by themselves place no bound on the number of past e-foldings. We also comment briefly on holographic restrictions on the production of baby universes.
