Smoller, Joel; Temple, Blake How inflationary spacetimes might evolve into spacetimes of finite total mass. (English) Zbl 1124.83007 Methods Appl. Anal. 12, No. 4, 451-464 (2005). The authors extend the results of their previous article [“Shock wave cosmology inside a black hole”, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 100, No. 20, 11216–11218 (2003; Zbl 1064.83041)], in which a new cosmological model arised inside the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. Here they examine how the finite mass shock wave cosmology could connect up with Guth’s original theory of inflation. A large list of references will add to the quality of the article, the reviewer thinks.
