Topological hybrid inflation in brane world
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we show that certain types of cosmological brane configurations may induce topological inflation. In generic models for topological inflation, there is a strict bound for the potential of the inflaton field. Naively, it seems that these constraints can be removed if inflation starts with a hybrid potential. However, it is difficult to combine topological inflation and hybrid inflation, because of the difference in their initial conditions. In this paper, we show some examples in which a novel type of topological inflation is realized with the unconventional hybrid potential.

Thermal hybrid inflation in brane world
In conventional scenario of thermal inflation, the requirement from the reheating temperature puts a lower bound on the mass of the inflaton field. At the same time, the mass of the inflaton field and the height of the potential during thermal inflation is intimately related. With these conditions, the conventional models for thermal inflation are quite restricted. Naively, one may expect that ...
متن کاملHybrid Inflation in Intersecting Brane Worlds
Non-supersymmetric brane world scenarios in string theory display perturbative instabilities that usually involve run-away potentials for scalar moduli fields. We investigate in the framework of intersecting brane worlds whether the leading order scalar potential for the closed string moduli allows to satisfy the slow-rolling conditions required for applications in inflationary cosmology. Adopt...
متن کاملElectric Tachyon Inflation
We propose that under certain conditions the universal open string tachyon can drive topological inflation in moduli stabilised frameworks. Namely, the presence of electric field in the world volume of the D-brane can slow down its decay leading to a phenomenological model of inflation. The conditions for inflation to take place are difficult to satisfy in the standard warped deformed conifold ...
متن کاملF-term, D-term and hybrid brane inflation
We study inflation and reheating in models for the brane universe, considering hybrid brane inflation without tachyon condensation. We expect that some fields that are localized on different branes interact with O(1) coupling when branes are on top of each other, while the interaction vanishes when branes are separated at a distance. If the interaction is needed to avoid spontaneous breaking of...
متن کاملNon-tachyonic brane inflation
We consider non-tachyonic hybrid inflation in the context of the braneworld cosmology. When one considers models for brane inflation, hybrid inflation is a natural consequence of the tachyon condensation if it appears at the end of inflation. In this case, however, reheating is a difficult problem due to the peculiar properties of the tachyon. In this paper we show some models for brane inflati...
