Abstract

We first review the related works on the observable consequence of landscape and the regulation of e-foldings during inflation. We focus on a branch of observable consequence of landscape which predicts an open universe with negative curvature if e-foldings N>62N>62. After discussing the observable regulation from the aspect by Kaloper, Kleban and Sorbo, we make an argument that in the non-flat background the observable NN is suppressed by a factor k/ρ0k/\rho_{0}. We point out that this seems to detect the information where e-foldings N>62N>62 possibly. Finally, we discuss our outcomes with the recent work by Arkani-Hamed et al.
