Abstract: We study boundary crossing probability in the context of stochastic inflation. We prove that for a generic multi-field inflationary potential, the probability that the inflaton reaches infinitely far regions in the field space is critically dependent on the number of fields, being nonzero for more than two fields, and zero otherwise. We also provide several examples where the boundary crossing probability can be calculated exactly, most notably, for a particular landscape of a two-field model with a multi-well potential.
