“…Although possible origins for this large-amplitude fluctuation have been proposed, such as a supercurvature perturbation in an open universe [19], a bounce prior to inflation [31], a non-vacuum initial state [26], topological defects [18,27], or deviations from slowroll inflation [20,22], it is largely taken as an ad hoc addition to the inflationary landscape. The scale dependence of the asymmetry often requires an additional elaboration to the theory, either in the form of scale-dependent non-Gaussianity [12,14,18,26,[30][31][32] or isocurvature fluctuations [12,20,25].…”
