The slow-roll inflation may be preceded by kinetic-dominated contraction occurring in \"adjacent\" vacua during some cycles. In this report we briefly show this phenomenon may lead to a cutoff of primordial power spectrum. Thus in some sense the CMB at large angular scale might encode the information of other vacua.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-04-26T07:04:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "98.80.Cq" ], "keywords": [ "low cmb quadrupole", "explanation", "primordial power spectrum", "large angular scale", "slow-roll inflation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
