Is the NANOGrav signal a hint of dS decay during inflation?
The NANOGrav collaboration recently has reported evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum process in its 12.5 yr dataset. We show that such a signal might be a hint of de Sitter (dS) decay during inflation. As suggested by the swampland conjectures, dS space is highly unstable if it exists at all....
