Age-dependent decay in the landscape

Understand

The picture of the "multiverse" arising in diverse cosmological scenarios involves transitions between metastable vacuum states.

It was pointed out by Krauss and Dent that the transition rates decrease at very late times, leading to a dependence of the transition probability between vacua on the age of each vacuum region.
I investigate the implications of this non-Markovian, age-dependent decay on the global structure of the spacetime in landscape scenarios.
I show that the fractal dimension of the eternally inflating domain is precisely equal to 3, instead of being slightly below 3 in scenarios with purely Markovian, age-independent decay.
