description: We analyze the one-loop renormalisation group equations for the parameters of the Higgs potential of a supersymmetric SU(5) model with first step of symmetry breaking involving an adjoint Higgs. In particular, we investigate the running of the parameters that decide the first step of symmetry breaking in an attempt to establish which symmetry-breaking scenarios would be most likely if the model is the effective low-energy description of some more fundamental theory. An infra-red fixed point is identified analytically. We show that it is located at the boundary between the region of Higgs parameter space corresponding to unbroken SU(5) and the region corresponding to the breaking of SU(5) to the Standard Model, and we elaborate on its implications. We also observe that certain forms of the Higgs potential discussed at tree level in the literature are not renormalisation group invariant.

Analysing correlated noise on the surface code using adaptive decoding algorithms

description: Laboratory hardware is rapidly progressing towards a state where quantum error-correcting codes can be realised. As such, we must learn how to deal with the complex nature of the noise that may occur in real physical systems. Single qubit Pauli errors are commonly used to study the behaviour of error-correcting codes, but in general we might expect the environment to introduce correlated errors to a system. Given some knowledge of structures that errors commonly take, it may be possible to adapt the error-correction procedure to compensate for this noise, but performing full state tomography on a physical system to analyse this structure quickly becomes impossible as the size increases beyond a few qubits. Here we develop and test new methods to analyse blue a particular class of spatially correlated errors by making use of parametrised families of decoding algorithms. We demonstrate our method numerically using a diffusive noise model. We show that information can be learnt about the parameters of the noise model, and additionally that the logical error rates can be improved. We conclude by discussing how our method could be utilised in a practical setting blue and propose extensions of our work to study more general error models.

description: This paper reports a lateral CMOS-MEMS accelerometer with a measured noise floor of 1 mG/√(Hz) and a dynamic range larger than 13 G. The accelerometer is fully compatible with conventional CMOS processes enabling the integration of most of the conditioning circuits. It is fabricated in a three metal layer 0.5 μm CMOS process followed by a two-step dry etch release. An improved curl matching technique is utilized to solve the out-of-plane curl problem. A new differential amplifier is used for the capacitive sensing interface. The CMOS micromachining process used in this project is described. The design of accelerometer, system schematic applying force-balance feedback and experimental test results are presented
A “Shape Aware” Model for semi-supervised Learning of Objects and its Context

description: We present an approach that combines bag-of-words and spatialmodels to perform semantic and syntactic analysis for recognition of an object based on its internal appearance and its context. We argue that while object recognition requires modeling relative spatial locations of image features within the object, a bag-of-word is sufficient for representing context. Learning such a model from weakly labeled data involves labeling of features into two classes: foreground(object) or “informative” background(context). We present a “shape-aware” model which utilizes contour information for efficient and accurate labeling of features in the image. Our approach iterates between an MCMC-based labeling and contour based labeling of features to integrate co-occurrence of features and shape similarity.

description: BackgroundThe vascular endothelium has important endocrine and paracrine roles, particularly in the regulation of vascular tone and immune function, and it has been implicated in the pathophysiology of a range of cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions. This study uses a series of transgenic murine models to explore for the first time the role of the hypoxia-inducible factors, HIF-1α and HIF-2α in the pulmonary and systemic circulations as potential regulators of systemic vascular function in normoxic or hypoxic conditions and in response to inflammatory stress. We developed a series of transgenic mouse models, the HIF-1α Tie2Cre, deficient in HIF1-α in the systemic and pulmonary vascular endothelium and the L1Cre, a pulmonary endothelium specific knockout of HIF-1α or HIF-2α. In vivo, arterial blood pressure and metabolic activity were monitored continuously in normal atmospheric conditions and following an acute stimulus with hypoxia (10%) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Ex vivo, femoral artery reactivity was assessed using wire myography.ResultsUnder normoxia, the HIF-1α Tie2Cre mouse had increased systolic and diastolic arterial pressure compared to litter mate controls over the day-night cycle under normal environmental conditions. VO2 and VCO2 were also increased. Femoral arteries displayed impaired endothelial relaxation in response to acetylcholine mediated by a reduction in the nitric oxide dependent portion of the response. HIF-1α L1Cre mice displayed a similar pattern of increased systemic blood pressure, metabolic rate and impaired vascular relaxation without features of pulmonary hypertension, polycythaemia or renal dysfunction under normal conditions. In response to acute hypoxia, deficiency of HIF-1α was associated with faster resolution of hypoxia-induced haemodynamic and metabolic compromise. In addition, systemic haemodynamics were less compromised by LPS treatment.ConclusionsThese data show that deficiency of HIF-1α in the systemic or pulmonary endothelium is associated with increased systemic blood pressure and metabolic rate, a pattern that persists in both normoxic conditions and in response to acute stress with potential implications for our understanding of the pathophysiology of vascular dysfunction in acute and chronic disease.
Hot nuclear matter in the modified quark-meson coupling model with quark-quark correlations

description: Short-range quark-quark correlations in hot nuclear matter are examined within the modified quark-meson coupling model (MQMC) by adding repulsive scalar and vector quark-quark interactions. Without these correlations, the bag radius increases with the baryon density. However when the correlations are introduced the bag size shrinks as the bags overlap. Also as the strength of the scalar quark-quark correlation is increased, the decrease of the effective nucleon mass $M^{*}_N$ with the baryonic density is slowed down and tends to saturate at high densities. Within this model we study the phase transition from the baryon-meson phase to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase with the latter modeled as an ideal gas of quarks and gluons inside a bag. Two models for the QGP bag parameter are considered. In one case, the bag is taken to be medium-independent and the phase transition from the hadron phase to QGP is found to occur at 5-8 times ordinary nuclear matter density for temperatures less than 60 MeV. For lower densities, the transition takes place at higher temperature reaching up to 130 MeV at zero density. In the second case, the QGP bag parameter is considered medium-dependent as in the MQMC model for the hadronic phase. In this case, it is found that the phase transition occurs at much lower densities.

description: Piper sarmentosum Roxb. (Piperaceae) is a traditional medicinal and food plant widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, offering both health and culinary benefits. In this study the secondary metabolites in different organs of P. sarmentosum were identified and their relative abundances were characterized. The metabolic profiles of leaves, roots, stems and fruits were comprehensively investigated by liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HR-MS) and the data subsequently analyzed using multivariate statistical methods. Manual interpretation of the tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) fragmentation patterns revealed the presence of 154 tentatively identified metabolites, mostly represented by alkaloids and flavonoids. Principle component analysis and hierarchical clustering indicated the predominant occurrence of flavonoids, lignans and phenyl propanoids in leaves, aporphines in stems, piperamides in fruits and lignan-amides in roots. Overall, this study provides extensive data on the metabolite composition of P. sarmentosum, supplying useful information for bioactive compounds discovery and patterns of their preferential biosynthesis or storage in specific organs. This can be used to optimize production and harvesting as well as to maximize the plant’s economic value as herbal medicine or in food applications.

description: Background: Previous work has shown differential predominance of certain Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) lineages and sub-lineages among different human populations in diverse geographic regions of Ethiopia. Nevertheless, how strain diversity is evolving under the ongoing rapid socio-economic and environmental changes is poorly understood. The present study investigated factors associated with M. tb lineage predominance and rate of strain clustering within urban and peri-urban settings in Ethiopia. Methods: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) and Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN) patients who visited selected health facilities were recruited in the years of 2016 and 2017. A total of 258 M. tb isolates identified from 163 sputa and 95 fine-needle aspirates (FNA) were characterized by spoligotyping and compared with international M.tb spoligotyping patterns registered at the SITVIT2 databases. The molecular data were linked with clinical and demographic data of the patients for further statistical analysis. Results: From a total of 258 M. tb isolates, 84 distinct spoligotype patterns that included 58 known Shared International Type (SIT) patterns and 26 new or orphan patterns were identified. The majority of strains belonged to two major M. tb lineages, L3 (35.7%) and L4 (61.6%). The observed high percentage of isolates with shared patterns (n = 200/258) suggested a substantial rate of overall clustering (77.5%). After adjusting for the effect of geographical variations, clustering rate was significantly lower among individuals co-infected with HIV and other concomitant chronic disease. Compared to L4, the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (AOR; 95% CI) indicated that infections with L3 M. tb strains were more likely to be associated with TBLN [3.47 (1.45, 8.29)] and TB-HIV co-infection [2.84 (1.61, 5.55)]. Conclusion: Despite the observed difference in strain diversity and geographical distribution of M. tb lineages, compared to earlier studies in Ethiopia, the overall rate of strain clustering suggests higher transmission and warrant more detailed investigations into the molecular epidemiology of TB and related factors.

description: Visual recognition under adverse conditions is a very important and challenging problem of high practical value, due to the ubiquitous existence of quality distortions during image acquisition, transmission, or storage. While deep neural networks have been extensively exploited in the techniques of low-quality image restoration and high-quality image recognition tasks respectively, few studies have been done on the important problem of recognition from very low-quality images. This paper proposes a deep learning based framework for improving the performance of image and video recognition models under adverse conditions, using robust adverse pre-training or its aggressive variant. The robust adverse pre-training algorithms leverage the power of pre-training and generalizes conventional unsupervised pre-training and data augmentation methods. We further develop a transfer learning approach to cope with real-world datasets of unknown adverse conditions. The proposed framework is comprehensively evaluated on a number of image and video recognition benchmarks, and obtains significant performance improvements under various single or mixed adverse conditions. Our visualization and analysis further add to the explainability of results.

description: We use a 3D photoionization modeling tool to study the morpho-kinematic properties of the Planetary Nebula (PN) NGC 3132. We show that it is possible to reproduce the low resolution observations (spectra and images) with an ellipsoidal shell. However, high resolution observations, as those showing a density variation along the nebula and the [O III]5007 velocity profiles, definitively rule out this description. We show that a bipolar Diabolo shape with a 40 degres rotation of the symmetry axis relative to the line of sight successfully reproduces the observed images, as well as the high resolution observations.

description: A mobile robot needs an internal representation of its environment in order to accomplish its mission. Building such a representation involves transforming raw data from sensors into a meaningful geometric representation. In this paper, we introduce techniques for building terrain representations from range data for an outdoor mobile robot. We introduce three levels of representations that correspond to levels of planning: obstacle maps, terrain patches, and high resolution elevation maps. Since terrain representations from individual locations are not sufficient for many navigation tasks, we also introduce techniques for combining multiple maps. Combining maps may be achieved either by using features or the raw elevation data. Finally, we introduce algorithms for combining 3-D descriptions with descriptions from other sensors, such as color cameras. We examine the need for this type of sensor fusion when some semantic information has to be extracted from an observed scene and provide an example application of outdoor scene analysis. Many of the techniques presented in this paper have been tested in the field on three mobile robot systems developed at CMU.
Controversy on health-based guidance values for bisphenol A : the need of criteria for studies that serve as a basis for risk assessment

description: Since 2006, the responsible regulatory bodies have proposed five health-based guidance values (HBGV) for bisphenol A (BPA) that differ by a factor of 250,000. This range of HBGVs covers a considerable part of the range from highly toxic to relatively non-toxic substances. As such heterogeneity of regulatory opinions is a challenge not only for scientific risk assessment but also for all stakeholders, the Senate Commission on Food Safety (SKLM) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) analyzed the reasons for the current discrepancy and used this example to suggest improvements for the process of HBGV recommendations. A key aspect for deriving a HBGV is the selection of appropriate studies that allow the identification of a point of departure (PoD) for risk assessment. In the case of BPA, the HBGV derived in the 2023 EFSA assessment was based on a study that reported an increase of Th17 cells in mice with a benchmark dose lower bound (BMDL40) of 0.53 µg/kg bw/day. However, this study does not comply with several criteria that are important for scientific risk assessment: (1) the selected end-point, Th17 cell frequency in the spleen of mice, is insufficiently understood with respect to health outcomes. (2) It is unclear, by which mechanism BPA may cause an increase in Th17 cell frequency. (3) It is unknown, if an increase of Th17 cell frequency in rodents is comparably observed in humans. (4) Toxicokinetics were not addressed. (5) Neither the raw data nor the experimental protocols are available. A further particularly important criterion (6) is independent data confirmation which is not available in the present case. Previous studies using other readouts did not observe immune-related adverse effects such as inflammation, even at doses orders of magnitude higher than in the Th17 cell-based study. The SKLM not only provides here key criteria for the use of such studies, but also suggests that the use of such a “checklist” requires a careful and comprehensive scientific judgement of each item. It is concluded that the Th17 cell-based study data do not represent an adequate basis for risk assessment of BPA.

description: The abundance of plant-derived proteins, as well as their biodegradability and low environmental impact make them attractive polymeric feedstocks for next-generation functional materials to replace current petroleum-based systems. However, efforts to generate functional materials from plant-based proteins in a scalable manner have been hampered by the lack of efficient methods to induce and control their micro and nanoscale structure, key requirements for achieving advantageous material properties and tailoring their functionality. Here, we demonstrate a scalable approach for generating mechanically robust plant-based films on a metre-scale through controlled nanometre-scale self-assembly of water-insoluble plant proteins. The films produced using this method exhibit high optical transmittance, as well as robust mechanical properties comparable to engineering plastics. Furthermore, we demonstrate the ability to impart nano- and microscale patterning into such films through templating, leading to the formation of hydrophobic surfaces as well as structural colour by controlling the size of the patterned features.

description: As known, receivers with in-phase and quadrature phase (I/Q) down conversion, especially direct-conversion architectures, always suffer from I/Q imbalance. I/Q imbalance is caused by amplitude and phase mismatch between I/Q paths. The performance degradation resulting from I/Q imbalance can not be mitigated with simply higher signal to noise ratio (SNR). Thus, I/Q imbalance compensation in the digital domain is critical. There are two main contributions in this paper. Firstly, we proposed a blind estimation algorithm for I/Q imbalance parameters based on joint first and second order statistics (FSS) which has lower complexity than conventional Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation (GMLE). This can be used for further processing such as equalization in the presence of receiver IQ imbalance. In addition, we find out the reason of the error floor in conventional I/Q imbalance compensation method based on the conjugate signal model (CSM). The proposed joint first order statistics and conjugate signal model (FSCSM) compensation algorithm can reach the ideal bit error rate (BER) performance.

description: Starting from the recognition that hadrons are not produced smoothly at phase transition, the fluctuation of spatial patterns is investigated by finding a measure of the voids that exhibits scaling behavior. The Ising model is used to simulate a cross-over in quark-hadron phase transition. A threshold in hadron density is used to define a void. The dependence of the scaling exponents on that threshold is found to provide useful information on some properties of the hadronization process. The complication in heavy-ion collision introduces the possibility of configuration mixing, which can also be studied in this approach. Numerical criteria on the scaling exponents have been found that can be used to discriminate phase-transition processes from other hadronization processes having nothing to do with critical phenomena.

description: Sich von belastenden (Arbeits-)Erfahrungen erholen zu können, erscheint als eine zentrale Kompetenz, um den heutigen Anforderungen der Arbeitswelt standhalten zu können. Supervision kann diese Kompetenz fördern, sollte jedoch als arbeitsweltbezogene Beratung eine ethisch fundierte Haltung vertreten, um sich in folgendem Dilemma zu positionieren: Inwieweit fördere ich als Supervisor*in die Selbstoptimierung von Supervisand*innen zur Steigerung der individuellen Konkurrenzfähigkeit auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, um „fit für’s Hamsterrad“ (Keupp 2013: 1723) zu bleiben? Wo besteht die Grenze zur Selbstausbeutung, z.B. durch den (Selbst-)Zwang, die Erholungsfähigkeit effektiver zu gestalten, um sich selbst, dadurch zum Objekt gemacht, in der beruflichen Arbeit besser verwerten zu können? Inwieweit trage ich als Supervisor*in dazu bei, dass durch die Förderung der individuellen Erholungskompetenz krankmachende Organisationsstrukturen länger erhalten bleiben? Wie unterstütze ich durch Supervision die Selbstfürsorge der Supervisand*innen im Sinne eines emanzipatorischen Empowerments einschließlich eines kritischen Potenzials gegenüber bestehenden Strukturen? Mit diesem Aufsatz, der auf der Grundlage meiner Masterthesis zum Thema entstanden ist, möchte ich einen breiteren Diskurs anstoßen. Es ist unbestritten, dass sich die Arbeits- und Freizeitbedingungen im Zuge des Übergangs von der Industrie- zur Dienstleistungs- und Wissensgesellschaft stark verändert haben. Diese Veränderungen umfassen eine zunehmende Bedeutung von kognitiven, emotionalen und sozialen Anforderungen in der Arbeitswelt sowie eine Entgrenzung von Arbeit und Freizeit, was zu Stress und psychischen Belastungen führt. Von diesen spezifischen Belastungen und Beanspruchungen gilt es, sich zu erholen, da es ansonsten zu negativen Folgen insbesondere für die Gesundheit kommen kann (1). Die dafür notwendige „Erholungskompetenz“ wurde im Bereich des Hochleistungssportes von Henning Allmer (1996) konzeptualisiert. Wie Erholungskompetenz heute verstanden werden kann, erläutere ich unter (2). Danach stelle ich eine ethisch fundierte Position der Supervision bezogen auf Erholungskompetenz zur Diskussion (3). Weitere konzeptionelle Impulse, auch zu methodischen Fragen, lassen sich in meiner Masterthesis (2023) finden.

description: This paper describes a scanning laser rangefinder developed for integration with the Carnegie Mellon University autonomous helicopter. The combination of an unmanned, autonomous helicopter with a 3-D scanning laser rangefinder has many potential applications; such as terrain modeling or structure inspection. To achieve high accuracy (10 cm) in each 3-D measurement, careful attention must be paid to minimizing errors, in particular, errors in measuring the direction of the laser’s beam. This paper discusses our approach to minimize these errors. Results are presented from early test flights.
Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Ray Acceleration by Magnetic Reconnection in Newborn Accretion Induced Collapse Pulsars

description: We here investigate the possibility that the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) events observed above the GZK limit are mostly protons accelerated in reconnection sites just above the magnetosphere of newborn millisecond pulsars which are originated by accretion induced collapse (AIC). We show that AIC-pulsars with surface magnetic fields $10^{12} G < B_{\star} \lesssim 10^{15}$ G and spin periods $1 ms \lesssim P_{\star} < 60 ms$, are able to accelerate particles to energies $\geq 10^{20}$ eV. Because the expected rate of AIC sources in our Galaxy is very small (\sim 10^{-5} yr^{-1}), the corresponding contribution to the flux of UHECRs is neglegible, and the total flux is given by the integrated contribution from AIC sources produced by the distribution of galaxies located within the distance which is unaffected by the GZK cutoff ($\sim 50$ Mpc). We find that the reconnection efficiency factor needs to be $ξ\gtrsim 0.1$ in order to reproduce the observed flux of UHECRs.

description: Der Beitrag bietet die Möglichkeit zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit Beratungsinstitutionen für Studierende mit Kind(ern) und deren Lebenswelt an der Universität Biele- feld. Zunächst werden die verschiedenen Beratungsinstitutionen der Universität vorgestellt. Anschließend folgt die Bezugnahme der erforschten Zielgruppe (Studierende mit Kind(ern)). Hierfür werden pointierte Ergebnisse aus einer Forschungswerkstatt und ei- ner Masterthesis herangezogen (vgl. Jacobs et al. 2021/2022). Grundlage der Masterthesis sind narrative Interviews, welche sowohl auf Basis der Theorie der Prozessstrukturen des Lebenslaufs von Fritz Schütze (vgl. Schütze 1981) und dem Konzept des Habitus nach Pierre Bourdieu (vgl. Bourdieu 1993) analysiert wurden. Anhand der Ergebnisse können Widersprüche in der Beratungspraxis und in den Studienkarrieren bzw. Lebenswelten von Studierenden mit Kind(ern) aufgezeigt werden. Abschließend werden mögliche Konsequenzen für die Beratungspraxis der Universität Bielefeld diskutiert.

description: The Weyl equation describes chiral massless relativistic particles, called Weyl fermions, which have important relations to neutrinos. A direct observation of the dynamics of Weyl fermions in an experiment is difficult to achieve. This study investigates a method of simulating the Weyl equation in 1+2-dimension by a single trapped ion. The predictions about a two-dimensional Zitterbewegung and an especially interesting phenomenon of Weyl fermions can be tested by the future trapped ion experiment, which might enhance our understanding of neutrinos.

description: We address the problem of understanding scenes from 3-D laser scans via per-point assignment of semantic labels. In order to mitigate the difficulties of using a graphical model for modeling the contextual relationships among the 3-D points, we instead propose a multi-stage inference procedure to capture these relationships. More specifically, we train this procedure to use point cloud statistics and learn relational information (e.g., tree-trunks are below vegetation) over fine (point-wise) and coarse (region-wise) scales. We evaluate our approach on three different datasets, that were obtained from different sensors, and demonstrate improved performance.
Heavy Baryon Masses in Large N_c HQET

description: We argue that in the large N_c HQET, the masses of the s-wave low-spin heavy baryons equal to the heavy quark mass plus proton mass approximately. To the subleading order, the heavy baryon mass 1/N_c expansion not only has the same form, but also has the same coefficients as that of the light baryon. Based on this, numerical analysis is made.

description: Warum hat bisher kein Austausch über Alter und Generationenbeziehungen Eingang in den Hauptstrom des supervisorischen Diskurses gefunden? Dieser Fragestellung geht der Autor in seinem Masterprojekt nach, indem er den in der Supervision geführten Diskurs zu Alter, Generation und Generativität analysiert. Im Rahmen einer Systematik sollen Anhaltspunkte für eine erweiterte Konzeption des Beziehungsraumes in der Supervision detektiert werden, wobei das Thema vorwiegend aus einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Perspektive für das professionelle Arbeitsbündnis untersucht wird. Grundlage der Systematik bildet Karl Mannheims bahnbrechendes Werk „Das Problem der Generationen“ von 1928, da es die Bedeutung gemeinsamer historischer Erfahrungen für ein umfassenderes Verständnis von Alter und Generationenbeziehungen betont. Anhand einzelner Beispiele wird dabei versucht, die Bedeutung der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse für die supervisorische Praxis darzustellen.

Double giant dipole resonances in time-dependent density-matrix theory

description: The strength functions of the DGDRs in 16O and 40Ca are calculated using an extended version of TDHF known as the time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM). The calculations are done in a self-consistent manner, in which the same Skyrme force as that used for the mean-field potential is used as the residual interaction to calculate two-body correlations. It is found that the DGDR in 16O has a large width due to the Landau damping, although the centroid energy of the DGDR is close to twice the energy of the GDR calculated in RPA. The DGDR in 40Ca is found more harmonic than that in 16O.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Inflation and Eternal Inflation

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The basic workings of inflationary models are summarized, along with the arguments that strongly suggest that our universe is the product of inflation. The mechanisms that lead to eternal inflation in both new and chaotic models are described. Although the infinity of pocket universes produced by eternal inflation are unobservable, it is argued that eternal inflation has real consequences in terms of the way that predictions are extracted from theoretical models. The ambiguities in defining probabilities in eternally inflating spacetimes are reviewed, with emphasis on the youngness paradox that results from a synchronous gauge regularization technique. Vilenkin's proposal for avoiding these problems is also discussed.
