Title |
Bubble Collision in Eternal Inflation | |||||
| Co-authors | J. Braden | |||||||
|
Abstract |
I will discuss the relation between the topology and finite temperature effects of the eternal inflation bubbles to the field configuration, in particular the emergence of a new quasistable structure, the antioscillon, durinng bubble collision. The latter can be used as a distinct observational signature. |
