Can Symmetry Non-restoration Solve the Monopole Problem ?
We reexamine a recently proposed non-inflationary solution to the monopole problem, based on the possibility that spontaneously broken Grand-Unified symmetries do not get restored at high temperature. We go beyond leading order by studying the self-consistent one-loop equations of the model. We find large next-to-leading corrections that reverse the lowest order results and cause symmetry resto...
متن کاملThermal background can solve the cosmological moduli problem.
It is shown that the coherent field oscillation of moduli fields with weak or TeV scale masses can dissipate its energy efficiently if they have a derivative coupling to standard bosonic fields in a thermal state. This mechanism provides a new solution to the cosmological moduli problem without creating too much entropy at late time.
متن کاملPre-inflation from the multiverse: can it solve the quadrupole problem in the cosmic microwave background?
We analyze a quantized toy model of a universe undergoing eternal inflation using a quantum-field-theoretical formulation of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This so-called third quantization method leads to the picture that the eternally inflating universe is converted to a multiverse in which sub-universes are created and exhibit a distinctive phase in their evolution before reaching an asymptoti...
متن کاملThermal inflation and the moduli problem.
In supersymmetric theories a eld can develop a vacuum expectation value M 10GeV, even though its mass m is of order 10 to 10GeV. The nite temperature in the early Universe can hold such a eld at zero, corresponding to a false vacuum with energy density V0 m 2 M . When the temperature falls below V 1=4 0 , the thermal energy density becomes negligible and an era of thermal in ation begins. It en...
متن کاملCan Counterfactuals Solve the Exclusion Problem?
A quite popular approach to solving the Causal Exclusion Problem is to adopt a counterfactual theory of causation. In this paper, I distinguish three versions of the Causal Exclusion Argument. I argue that the counterfactualist approach can block the first two exclusion arguments, because the Causal Inheritance Principle and the Upward Causation Principle upon which the two arguments are based ...
