Holography and Eternal Inflation
arXiv:hep-th/0402162 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.70.026001
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.
