Initial conditions for inflation—A short review
R Brandenberger - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2017 - World Scientific
I give a brief review of the status of research on the nature of initial conditions required to
obtain a period of cosmological inflation. It is shown that there is good evidence that in the …
