Chaotic inflation and the omega problem
Description:
One of the most compelling features of inflationary cosmology is that it provides a solution to the flatness problem, i.e. an explanation of the fact that the ratio, {Omega}, of the present mass density to the closure density is so close to unity. Indeed, inflationary models naturally lead to a present value of the closure parameter which is equal to unity to many significant figures. At the same time, however, there are at least some observational indications that the present value of the clos…
