Formation of monopoles and domain walls after brane inflation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study cosmological defect formation induced by brane creation after brane inflation. Contrary to the previous arguments, production of monopoles and domain walls are not negligible. Monopoles and domain walls are formed by the creation of daughter branes that are extended between mother branes.

Cosmic String Production Towards the End of Brane Inflation
Towards the end of the brane inflationary epoch in the brane world, cosmic strings (but not texture, domain walls or monopoles) are copiously produced during brane collision. These cosmic strings are Dp-branes with (p−1) dimensions compactified. We elaborate on this prediction of the superstring theory description of the brane world. Using the data on the temperature anisotropy in the cosmic mi...
متن کاملSolitonic brane inflation
We present a new type of brane inflation motivated by multikink solitonic solutions of a scalar field in five dimensions. In the thin brane limit, we analyze a nonstatic configuration in which the distance between two parallel domain walls decreases. We show that the ensuing spacetime is inflationary, both on the branes, and, for certain potentials, in the bulk. We argue that this inflationary ...
متن کاملInflationary Reheating in Grand Unified Theories
Grand unified theories may display multiply interacting fields with strong coupling dynamics. This poses two new problems: (1) what is the nature of chaotic reheating after inflation, and (2) how is reheating sensitive to the mass spectrum of these theories ? We answer these questions in two interesting limiting cases and demonstrate an increased efficiency of reheating which strongly enhances ...
متن کاملFormation of cosmological brane defects
We study cosmological formation of D-term strings, axionic strings, domain walls and Q-balls in braneworld models of the Hanany-Witten type. For the Dterm strings, we show that the strings are the daughter branes extended between mother branes. We show that the domain walls can be produced by conventional cosmological phase transitions. In this case, the formation of the domain walls is induced...
متن کاملInstantons, Monopoles, Vortices and Kinks
These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections, each dealing with a different soliton. We start with instantons and work down in co-dimension to monopoles, vortices and, eventually, domain walls. Emphasis is placed on the moduli space of solitons and, in particu...
