A family of de Sitter vacua introduced in hep-th/0203198 as plausible initial conditions for inflation, are discussed from the point of view of de Sitter holography. The vacua are argued to be physically acceptable and the inflationary picture provides a physical interpretation of a subfamily of de Sitter invariant vacua. Some speculations on the issue of vacuum choice and the connection between the CMBR and holography are also provided.

- Transplanckian energy production and slow roll inflation (2004, background): “As discussed in [9], the initial condition approach to the transplanckian problem allows for a discussion of many of the transplanckian effects in terms of the α-vacua.”
- Initial Conditions for Inflation (2002, background): “The authors of [4,5,13,14,16] considered as a state for the inflaton |α〉, with, for example, e = Hi/M ∼ 10 where Hi is the Hubble constant during inflation.”
- Trans-Planckian issues for inflationary cosmology (2012, background): “Whereas the prescription adopted by [27, 28, 31] leads to oscillations of the abovementioned magnitude, the choice made by [29] and studied in more detail in [32] leads to oscillations with amplitude suppressed by three powers of H/M C .”
