Inflation as an information bottleneck: a strategy for identifying universality classes and making robust predictions

Abstract In this work we propose a statistical approach to handling sources of theoretical uncertainty in string theory models of inflation. By viewing a model of inflation as a probabilistic graph, we show that there is an inevitable information bottleneck between the ultraviolet input of the theor...
