1 Topological Defect Inflation ∗
We address some issues of topological defect inflation. (1) We clarify the causal structure of an inflating magnetic monopole. The spacetime diagram shows explicitly that this model is free from the “graceful exit” problem, while the monopole itself undergoes “eternal inflation”. (2) We extend the study of inflating topological defects to Brans-Dicke gravity. Contrary to the case of Einstein gr...
متن کاملA Topological Defect Model of Superfluid Vortices
This paper introduces a nonlinear Schrr odinger model for superruid that captures the process of mutual friction between the superruid and normal uid components of helium II. Superruid vortices are identiied as topological defects in the solution of this equation. A matched asymptotic analysis of Neu 7] is adapted to derive an asymptotic dynamics for the vortices in the case they are widely sep...
متن کاملVacuum polarization by a composite topological defect
In this paper we analyze one-loop quantum effects of a scalar field induced by a composite topological defect consisting a cosmic string on a p-dimensional brane and a (m+ 1)dimensional global monopole in the transverse extra dimensions. The corresponding Green function is presented as a sum of two terms. The first one corresponds to the bulk where the cosmic string is absent and the second one...
متن کاملDefect formation in the early universe
Topological defects are common in many everyday systems. In general, they appear if a symmetry is broken at a rapid phase transition. In this article, I explain why it is believed that they should have also been formed in the early universe and how that would have happened. If topological defects are found, this will provide a way to study observationally the first fractions of a second after t...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Computation in TGD Universe
Topological quantum computation (TQC) is one of the most promising approaches to quantum computation. The coding of logical qubits to the entanglement of topological quantum numbers promises to solve the de-coherence problem whereas the S-matrices of topological field theories (modular functors) providing unitary representations for braids provide a realization of quantum computer programs with...
