Moduli inflation with large scale structure produced by topological defects.
It is tempting to inflate along one of the many flat directions that arise in supersymmetric theories. The required flatness of the potential to obtain sufficient inflation and to not overproduce density fluctuations occurs naturally. However, the density perturbations (in the case of a single moduli field) that arise from inflaton quantum fluctuations are too small for structure formation. Her...
متن کاملTopological Defects and Structure Formation ⋆
Topological defects are produced during phase transitions in the very early Universe. They arise in most unified theories of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. These lectures focus on the role of topological defects in cosmology, with particular emphasis on the models of structure formation based on defects. The role of topological defects in baryogenesis is also reviewed. ⋆ Based o...
متن کاملCosmological Strucure Formation with Topological Defects
Structure formation with topological defects is described. The main differences from inflationary models are highlighted. The results are compared with recent observations. It is concluded that all the defect models studied so far are in disagreement with recent observations of CMB anisotropies. Furthermore, present observations do not support ’decoherence’, a generic feature of structure forma...
متن کاملTopological Defects and the Formation of Structure in the Universe
Topological defects, in particular cosmic strings, give rise to an interesting mechanism for generating the primordial perturbations in the early Universe which are required to explain the present structure. An overview of the cosmic string model will be given, focusing on the predictions of the theory for the large-scale structure of the Universe and for cosmic microwave background anisotropies.
متن کاملLinking Cluster Formation to Large Scale Structure
We use two high resolution CDM simulations to show that (i) when clusters of galaxies form the infall pattern of matter is not random but shows clear features which are correlated in time; (ii) in addition, the infall patterns are correlated with the cluster’s surrounding Large Scale Structure; (iii) Large Scale Structure shows a mix of both filaments and sheets; (iv) the amount of mass in fila...
