Brane Inflation and Cosmic String Tension in Superstring Theory
In a simple reanalysis of the KKLMMT scenario, we argue that the slow roll condition in the D3-D3-brane inflationary scenario in superstring theory requires no more than a moderate tuning. The cosmic string tension is very sensitive to the conformal coupling: with less fine-tuning, the cosmic string tension (as well as the ratio of tensor to scalar perturbation mode) increases rapidly and can e...
متن کاملInflation and Nonsingular Spacetimes of Cosmic Strings
Inflation of cosmic gauge and global strings is investigated by numerically solving the combined Einstein and field equations. Above some critical symmetry-breaking scales, the strings undergo inflation along the radial direction as well as the axial direction at the core. The nonsingular nature of the spacetimes around supercritical gauge and global strings is discussed and contrasted to the s...
متن کاملFitting cosmic microwave background data with cosmic strings and inflation.
We perform a multiparameter likelihood analysis to compare measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectra with predictions from models involving cosmic strings. Adding strings to the standard case of a primordial spectrum with power-law tilt ns, we find a 2sigma detection of strings: f10=0.11+/-0.05, where f10 is the fractional contribution made by strings in the temperatur...
متن کاملCosmic Strings and the String Dilaton
The existence of a dilaton (or moduli) with gravitational-strength coupling to matter imposes stringent constraints on the allowed energy scale of cosmic strings, η. In particular, superheavy gauge strings with η ∼ 1016 GeV are ruled out unless the dilaton mass mφ ∼ 100TeV, while the currently popular value mφ ∼ 1TeV imposes the bound η ∼ 3×10 11 GeV. Similar constraints are obtained for global...
متن کاملMultiple Inflation, Cosmic String Networks and the String Landscape
Motivated by the string landscape we examine scenarios for which inflation is a two-step process, with a comparatively short inflationary epoch near the string scale and a longer period at a much lower energy (like the TeV scale). We quantify the number of e-foldings of inflation which are required to yield successful inflation within this picture. The constraints are very sensitive to the equa...
