Vacuum Selection from Cosmology on Networks of String Geometries
Physical Review Letters 121, 101602 (2018)
Summary: We show a bubble cosmology model on networks of string geometries has late-time determined by the networks' eigenvector centralities, which provides a dynamical mechanism for vacuum selection in the string landscape. DOI arXiv
