Rejuvenating the hope of a swampland consistent inflated multiverse with tachyonic inflation in the high energy RS-II Braneworld

Abstract: The swampland conjectures from string theory have had some really interesting implications on cosmology, in particular on inflationary models. Some models of inflation have been shown to be incompatible with these criterion while some have been shown to be severely fine tuned, with most of these problems arising in single field inflationary models in a General relativistic cosmology. Recent works have although optimistically shown that single field models in more general cosmologies can be consistent with these conjectures and hence there is an optimism that not all such models lie in the swampland. However a paradigm of inflation which has been shown to not be perfectly okay with the conjectures is eternal inflation. So in this work, we discuss Tachyonic inflation in the high energy RS-II Braneworld scenario in the context of the swampland conjectures while also considering the possibility of swampland consistent eternal inflation. We show that our concerned regime evades all the prominent swampland issues for single field inflation being virtually unscathed. After this, we show that the main conflicts of eternal inflation with the swampland can easily be resolved in the considered tachyonic scenario and in particular, we also discuss the exciting prospect of a Generalized Uncertainty Principle facilitating the notion of Swampland consistent eternal inflation. Our work as a whole reignites the possibility that there can be a swampland (and possibly, quantum gravitationally) consistent picture of a "Multiverse".
