Analytic Scaling Solutions for Cosmic Domain Walls.
نویسنده
چکیده
A relativistic generalisation of a well-known method for approximating the dynamics of topological defects in condensed matter is constructed, and applied to the evolution of domain walls in a cosmological context. It is shown that there are self-similar “scaling” solutions, for which one can in principle calculate many quantities of interest without recourse to numerical simulations. Here, the area density in the scaling regime is calculated in various backgrounds. Remarkably good agreement with numerical simulations is obtained. PACS numbers: 98.80.Cq, 11.27.+d, 64.60.Cn

Level set method for the evolution of defect and brane networks
A theory for studying the dynamic scaling properties of branes and relativistic topological defect networks is presented. The theory, based on a relativistic version of the level set method, well known in other contexts, possesses self-similar ‘‘scaling’’ solutions, for which one can calculate many quantities of interest. Here, the length and area densities of cosmic strings and domain walls ar...
متن کاملScaling Distribution of Axionic Strings and Estimation of Axion Density from Axionic Domain Walls
When the amount of the axion emitted from axionic strings is evaluated, the number density of the source string should be necessarily determined. Although it is the simplest assumption that the axionic strings obey the same distribution as that of the cosmic gauged strings, this assumption has not been completely justified. The damping due to the surrounding plasma is estimated by a detailed ca...
متن کاملMass and radius of cosmic balloons.
Cosmic balloons are spherical domain walls with relativistic particles trapped inside. We derive the exact mass and radius relations for a static cosmic balloon using Gauss-Codazzi equations. The cosmic balloon mass as a function of its radius, M(R), is found to have a functional form similar to that of fermion soliton stars, with a fixed point at 2GM(R)/R ≃ 0.486, which corresponds to the limi...
متن کاملDomain Walls and Spaces of Special Holonomy
We review the relations between a family of domain-wall solutions to M-theory and gravitational instantons with special holonomy. When oxidized into the maximal-dimension parent supergravity, the transverse spaces of these domain walls become cohomogeneity-one spaces with generalized Heisenberg symmetries and a homoth-etic conformal symmetry. These metrics may also be obtained as scaling limits...
متن کاملCosmic Walls and Filaments Formation in Modied Chaplygin Gas Cosmology
We want to study the perturbation growth of an initial seed of an ellipsoidal shape in Top-Hat collapse model of the structure formation in the Modied Chaplygin gas cosmology. Considering reasonable values of the constants and the parameters of the model under study, we can show that a very small deviation from spherical symmetry (ellipsoidal geometry) in the initial seed leads to a nal highly ...
