Eternal inflation and the present universe

Description
Eternally inflating universes can contain thermalized regions with different values of the cosmological parameters. In particular, the spectra of density fluctuations should be different, because of the different realizations of quantum fluctuations of the inflation field. I discuss a general method for calculating probability distributions for such variable parameters and analyze the density fluctuation spectrum as a specific application
