Spinflation and Cycling Branes in Warped Throats
The implications of brane motion in angular directions of Calabi-Yau flux compactifications are discussed from the point of view of an observer living on the worldvolume of the brane and from the point of view of an observer living elsewhere in the three non-compact dimensions. The brane observer can experience cosmological bounces and cyclic behavior of the scale factor induced by centrifugal ...
متن کاملInflation and cosmic (super)strings: implications of their intimate relation revisited
We briefly discuss constraints on supersymmetric hybrid inflation models and examine the consistency of brane inflation models. We then address the implications for inflationary scenarios resulting from the strong constraints on the cosmic (super)string tension imposed from the most recent cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies data.
متن کاملRelic Gravitational Waves and the Evolution of the Universe
In the inflation cosmic models, the relic gravitational waves (RGW) generated in the inflation stage, and evolved in the universe until now. In the different cosmic evolution models, one can get different gravitational waves spectrum. In this paper, we give a simple formula to estimate the spectrum in a general cosmic model. From this spectrum, one can easily find the relation between the RGW s...
متن کاملWMAPping the Inflationary Universe
An epoch of accelerated expansion, or inflation, in the early universe solves several cosmological problems. While there are many models of inflation only recently has it become possible to discriminate between some of the models using observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation and large-scale structure. In this talk, we discuss inflation and its observational consequences, and t...
متن کاملNon–Gaussian Signatures in the Cosmic Background Radiation from Warm Inflation
We calculate the bispectrum of the gravitational field fluctuations generated during warm inflation, where dissipation of the vacuum potential during inflation is the mechanism for structure formation. The bispectrum is non–zero because of the self–interaction of the scalar field. We compare the predictions with those of standard, or ‘supercooled’, inflationary models, and consider the detectab...
