3 Inspiration Why is the universe 3 dimensional? What is the overall shape and structure of the universe? Do we have a landscape of vacua, extra dimensions? Does this explain properties of our universe (e.g. the Cosmological Constant)? Did we have a period of eternal inflation in our past? Is our universe a vast, inhomogeneous multiverse?
4 Inspiration Why is the universe 3 dimensional? What is the overall shape and structure of the universe? Do we have a landscape of vacua, extra dimensions? Does this explain properties of our universe (e.g. the Cosmological Constant)? Did we have a period of eternal inflation in our past? Is our universe a vast, inhomogeneous multiverse? How will we know?
5 Outline 1. Motivation 2. The Anisotropic Universe 3. Observables
6 Lower Dimensions Lower dimensional vacua seem generic Even SM has a landscape of lower dimensional vacua Arkani-Hamed et. al. (2008) More ways to compactify more dimensions We assume our universe came from a lower dimensional vacuum Possibly all dimensions began compact? Dimensions tend to decompactify Brandenberger & Vafa (1989) Giddings & Myers (2004)
7 Lower Dimensions Lower dimensional vacua seem generic Even SM has a landscape of lower dimensional vacua Arkani-Hamed et. al. (2008) More ways to compactify more dimensions We assume our universe came from a lower dimensional vacuum Possibly all dimensions began compact? Dimensions tend to decompactify Brandenberger & Vafa (1989) Giddings & Myers (2004) Creates large initial anisotropy, diluted by slow-roll inflation We will look for residual signs of this special direction
8 Landscape Signals For signals to be observable, inflation must not have lasted too long. Inflation needs tuning. Few e-folds may be generic. Many landscape signals require this e.g. curvature, bubble collisions Aguirre, Johnson & Shomer (2007), Chang, Kleban & Levi (2007)
9 Landscape Signals For signals to be observable, inflation must not have lasted too long. Inflation needs tuning. Few e-folds may be generic. Many landscape signals require this e.g. curvature, bubble collisions Aguirre, Johnson & Shomer (2007), Chang, Kleban & Levi (2007) These also assume other vacua are 3+1 dimensional What if we relax this assumption? These signals could reveal our history of decompactification (see also Blanco-Pillado and Salem, 2010)
10 The Anisotropic Universe
11 Initial Transition If the parent vacuum is 2+1 dimensional Coleman - De Luccia tunneling creates a bubble of 3+1 dimensional space Could be radion tunneling (or change in fluxes, etc.)
12 Initial Transition If the parent vacuum is 2+1 dimensional Coleman - De Luccia tunneling creates a bubble of 3+1 dimensional space Could be radion tunneling (or change in fluxes, etc.) spatial dimensions = R 2 S 1 y x z x
13 Initial Transition If the parent vacuum is 2+1 dimensional Coleman - De Luccia tunneling creates a bubble of 3+1 dimensional space Could be radion tunneling (or change in fluxes, etc.) y spatial dimensions = R 2 S 1 t x z x x creates an infinite, open FRW universe, in 2 dimensions negative curvature only in 2 dimensions, third dimension flat
14 Initial Transition Alternatively, if the parent vacuum is 1+1 dimensional: The single uncompactified dimension is flat Other two may be any compact 2-manifold with geometry S 2, E 2, or H 2 Generic compactifications have large curvature
15 Initial Transition Alternatively, if the parent vacuum is 1+1 dimensional: The single uncompactified dimension is flat Other two may be any compact 2-manifold with geometry S 2, E 2, or H 2 Generic compactifications have large curvature We won t consider the 0+1 dimensional case.

Anisotropic curvature also causes differential Hubble expansion H Ω k H Visible directly in Hubble measurements Current limits ~ few % May improve to < 10-2 with e.g. GW sirens Schutz (2001)
72 Conclusions + Future Directions Have high-l, low cosmic variance, observables of dimension changing transitions Due to late time effect of anisotropic curvature Not statistical predictions, though provide evidence for landscape/eternal inflation Can test an observation of curvature for isotropy Anisotropy implies lower dimensional parent vacuum Isotropy is evidence for 3+1 dimensional parent vacuum Interesting to explore dimension changing transitions Other observables, e.g. bubble collisions, gravitational waves? Does the landscape provide a reason for 3+1 dimensions?
