Attractors, Universality and Inflation
  Studies of the initial conditions for inflation have conflicting predictions
from exponential suppression to inevitability. At the level of phase space,
this conflict arises from the competing intuitions of CPT invariance and
thermodynamics. After reviewing this conflict, we enlarge the ensemble beyond
phase space to include scalar potential data. We show how this leads to an
important contribution from inflection point inflation, enhancing the
likelihood of inflation to an inverse cubic power law. In the process, we
emphasize the attractor dynamics of the gravity-scalar system and the existence
of universality classes from inflection point inflation. Finally, we comment on
the predictivity of inflation in light of these results.
