Weak Scale Inflation and Unstable Domain Walls
نویسنده
چکیده
Cosmlogical domain walls produced during phase transition are expected to collapse on a cosmologically safe timescale if Vilenkin’s condition is satisfied. We show that the decaying processes of these unstable domain walls should be changed significantly if weak scale inflation takes place. The usual condition for the safe decay of the cosmological domain wall must be changed, depending on their scales and interactions. As a result, the energy scales and explicit breaking terms of such walls must satisfy severe requirements. We also make a brief comment on cosmological structure formation.

Topological defects as seeds for eternal inflation.
We investigate the global structure of inflationary universe both by analytical methods and by computer simulations of stochastic processes in the early Universe. We show that the global structure of inflationary universe depends crucially on the mechanism of inflation. In the simplest models of chaotic inflation with the effective potentials φ or e the Universe looks like a sea of thermalized ...
متن کاملDomain Wall Problem of Axion and Isocurvature Fluctuations in Chaotic Inflation Models
We study the domain wall problem of an axion in chaotic inflation models. We show that the production of domain walls does not occurs if the PecceiQuinn scalar has a flat potential and its breaking Fa is larger than ∼ 10GeV. We find that too large isocurvature fluctuations are produced for such high Fa. In order for those isocurvature fluctuations to be consistent with observations of the large...
متن کاملCosmological Implications of Domain Walls due to Duality Invariant Moduli Sector of Superstring Vacua
We study cosmological implications of the duality (PSL(2,Z)) invariant potential for the compactification radius T , arising in a class of superstring vacua. We show that in spite of having only one minimum in the fundamental domain of the T field there are two types of non-supersymmetric domain walls: one is associated with the discrete Peccei-Quinn symmetry T → T + i, analogous to the axionic...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Relationship between the Business Cycle and Inflation Gap in Time-Frequency Domain
Controlling the business cycle and minimizing the inflation gap are considered as two major goals for monetary policy. Hence, the policymaker will be able to make more decisive decisions with an awareness of the dynamic relationship and causal relationship between these two variables. Accordingly, the present study uses a discrete and continuous wavelet transform to provide a new understanding ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Discrete Symmetry Breaking During Inflation and the NMSSM Domain Wall Problem
The Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), proposed as a solution of the μ problem of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, has a discrete Z3 symmetry which is spontaneously broken at the electroweak phase transition, resulting in a cosmological domain wall problem. This domain wall problem cannot be solved by explicit Z3 breaking without introducing supergravity tadpole co...
