Initial Conditions for Inflation – A Short Review [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01918


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 case of large field models, the inflationary slow-roll trajectory is a local attractor in initial condition space, whereas it is not in the case of small field models.
