Abstract

In homogeneous isotropic universes the particle horizon defines causally connected regions. For inflationary universes it is known that microphysics can interact coherently only on a much smaller scale. An interaction horizon is introduced that allows this scale to be determined for Robertson-Walker models. During inflation its upper bound is the event horizon.
