Axions and the Graceful Exit Problem in String Cosmology
نویسنده
چکیده
We reexamine the graceful exit problem in the Pre-Big-Bang inflationary scenario. The dilaton-gravity action is generalized by adding the axion and a general axion/dilaton potential. We provide a phase space analysis of the dynamics which leads us to extend the previous no-go theorem and rule out the branch change necessary for graceful exit in this context.

The Graceful Exit in Pre-Big Bang String Cosmology
We re-examine the graceful exit problem in the pre-Big Bang scenario of string cosmology, by considering the most general time-dependent classical correction to the Lagrangian with up to four derivatives. By including possible forms for quantum loop corrections we examine the allowed region of parameter space for the coupling constants which enable our solutions to link smoothly the two asympto...
متن کاملOn Graceful Exit in String Cosmology with Pre-Big Bang Phase
We analyze the problem of graceful exit from superinflationary pre-big bang phase of string cosmology within the context of lowest-order string effective action. The previous no go theorems are generalized for the case when higher genus terms of general form and additional matter fields are included. It is shown that the choice of the E-frame essentially simplifies the consideration. For the ex...
متن کاملGraceful Exit and Energy Conditions in String Cosmology
String cosmology solutions are examined in a generalized phase-space including sources representing arbitrary corrections to lowest order string-dilatongravity effective action. We find a set of necessary conditions for a graceful exit transition from a dilaton-driven inflationary phase to a radiation dominated era. We show that sources allowing such a transition have to violate energy conditio...
متن کاملSNUTP 96/043 hep-th/9605176 Back Reaction and Graceful Exit in String Inflationary Cosmology
Classical string cosmology consists of two branches related to each other by scale-factor duality: a super-inflation branch and a Friedmann-RobertsonWalker (FRW) branch. Curvature and string coupling singularity separates the two branches, hence posing ‘graceful exit problem’ to super-inflationary string cosmology. In an exactly soluble two-dimensional compactification model it is shown that qu...
متن کاملString Cosmology
We present a brief review of recent advances in string cosmology. Starting with the Dilaton-Moduli Cosmology (known also as the Pre Big Bang), we go on to include the effects of axion fields and address the thorny issue of the Graceful Exit in String Cosmology. This is followed by a review of density perturbations arising in string cosmology and we finish with a brief introduction to the impact...
