Cosmology from random multifield potentials

Cosmology from random multifield potentials

We consider the statistical properties of vacua and inflationary trajectories associated with a random multifield potential. Our underlying motivation is the string landscape, but our calculations apply to general potentials. Using random matrix theory, we analyse the Hessian matrices associated with the extrema of this potential. These potentials generically have …
