Production of fermions in models of string cosmology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Production of spin 1/2 fermions and gravitinos by the standard mechanism of amplification of quantum fluctuations during the dilatondriven inflation phase in models of string cosmology is highly suppressed. Constraints on string cosmology models from gravitational production of gravitinos, contrary to expectations, are similar to constraints on other models.

Heterotic Cosets
A description is given of how to construct (0, 2) supersymmetric conformal field theories as coset models. These models may be used as non–trivial backgrounds for Heterotic String Theory. They are realised as a combination of an anomalously gauged Wess–Zumino–Witten model, right–moving supersymmetric fermions, and left–moving current algebra fermions. Requiring the sum of the gauge anomalies fr...
متن کاملBulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation
Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...
متن کاملQuantum order from string-net condensations and origin of light and massless fermions
Recently, it was pointed out that quantum orders and the associated projective symmetry groups can produce and protect massless gauge bosons and massless fermions in local bosonic models. In this paper, we demonstrate that a state with such kind of quantum orders can be viewed as a string-net condensed state. The emerging gauge bosons and fermions in local bosonic models can be regarded as a di...
متن کاملChallenges for Inflationary Cosmology
Inflationary cosmology has provided a predictive and phenomenologically very successful scenario for early universe cosmology. Attempts to implement inflation using scalar fields, however, lead to models with serious conceptual problems. I will discuss some of the problems, explain why string theory could provide solutions to a subset of these problems, and give a brief overview of “string gas ...
متن کاملLectures on string theory and cosmology
In these lectures I review recent attempts to apply string theory to cosmology, including string cosmology and various models of brane cosmology. In addition, the review includes an introduction to inflation as well as a discussion of transplanckian signatures. I also provide a critical discussion of the possible role of holography. The material is based on lectures given in January 2004 at the...
