Observational constraints on cosmic string production during brane inflation
Overall, brane inflation is compatible with the recent analysis of the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe ~WMAP! data. Here we explore the constraints of WMAP and the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey ~2dFGRS! data on the various brane inflationary scenarios. Brane inflation naturally ends with the production of cosmic strings, which may provide a way to distinguish these models observationally. We ...
متن کاملObservational constraints on particle production during inflation
Resonant particle production, along with many other physical processes which change the effective equation of state (EOS) during inflation, introduces a feature in the primordial power spectrum which in many models has a step-like shape. We calculate observational constraints on resonant particle production, parametrized in the form of an effective step height, Neff and location in k-space, kbr...
متن کاملCosmic String Production Towards the End of Brane Inflation
Towards the end of the brane inflationary epoch in the brane world, cosmic strings (but not texture, domain walls or monopoles) are copiously produced during brane collision. These cosmic strings are Dp-branes with (p−1) dimensions compactified. We elaborate on this prediction of the superstring theory description of the brane world. Using the data on the temperature anisotropy in the cosmic mi...
متن کاملString production after angled brane inflation
We describe string production after angled brane inflation. First, we point out that there was a discrepancy in previous discussions. The expected tension of the cosmic string calculated from the four-dimensional effective Lagrangian did not match the one obtained in the brane analysis. In the previous analysis, the cosmic string is assumed to correspond to the lower-dimensional daughter brane,...
متن کاملBrane 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...
