Abstract

A no-go theorem pertaining to the graceful exit problem in Pre-Big-Bang inflation is reviewed. It is shown that dilaton self-interactions and string fluid sources fail to facilitate branch changing necessary to avoid singularities. A comment on the failure of the higher genus corrections to induce graceful exit is also included.
