What structural features characterize individual performers’ styles? To what extent do eminent pianists agree on segmentation and rendering of musical phrases? How much do they agree on selection of score events (accents) for local emphasis, and how to emphasize them? How do these choices influence the emotional responses of listeners? How musical expertise and cognitive style of listening infl...

Recently, based on swampland considerations in string theory, the (no) eternal inflation principle has been put forward. The natural question arises whether similar conditions hold other approaches to quantum gravity. In this article, asymptotic safety hypothesis is considered context of inflation. As exemplary inflationary models SU(N) Yang-Mills Veneziano limit and various RG-improvements gra...

Non-trivial inflaton self-interactions can yield calculable signatures of primordial non-Gaussianity that are measurable in cosmic surveys. Surprisingly, we find the phase transition to slow-roll eternal inflation is often incalculable same models. Instead, this sensitive non-Gaussian tail distribution scalar fluctuations, which probes physics inside horizon, potentially beyond cutoff scale Eff...
