Inflation after False Vacuum Decay: Prospects after Planck

Institute for Advanced Study

Abstract:

I will discuss recent work with Bousso and Senatore on possible observational signatures of our universe being nucleated inside of a false vacuum bubble. I will discuss both the practical phenomenology and the probability in the landscape of these signatures.
