Thermal background can solve the cosmological moduli problem.

چکیده
It is shown that the coherent field oscillation of moduli fields with weak or TeV scale masses can dissipate its energy efficiently if they have a derivative coupling to standard bosonic fields in a thermal state. This mechanism provides a new solution to the cosmological moduli problem without creating too much entropy at late time.

Cosmological Moduli Problem and Thermal Inflation Models
In superstring theories, there exist various dilaton and modulus fields which masses are expected to be of the order of the gravitino mass m3/2. These fields lead to serious cosmological difficulties, so called “cosmological moduli problem”, because a large number of moduli particles are produced as the coherent oscillations after the primordial inflation. We make a comprehensive study whether ...
متن کاملAstrophysical and Cosmological Implications of Large Volume String Compactifications
We study the spectrum, couplings and cosmological and astrophysical implications of the moduli fields for the class of Calabi-Yau IIB string compactifications for which moduli stabilisation leads to an exponentially large volume V ∼ 1015l6 s and an intermediate string scale ms ∼ 1011 GeV, with TeV-scale observable supersymmetry breaking. All Kähler moduli except for the overall volume are heavi...
متن کاملRelaxing the cosmological moduli problem.
Typically the moduli fields acquire mass mφ = ±C H in the early universe, which shifts the position of the minimum of their effective potential and leads to an excessively large energy density of the oscillating moduli fields at the later stages of the evolution of the universe. This constitutes the cosmological moduli problem, or Polonyi field problem. We show that the cosmological moduli prob...
متن کاملNon-thermal Dark Matter and the Moduli Problem in String Frameworks
We address the cosmological moduli/gravitino problems and the issue of too little thermal but excessive non-thermal dark matter from the decays of moduli. The main examples we study are the G2-MSSM models arising from M theory compactifications, which allow for a precise calculation of moduli decay rates and widths. We find that the late decaying moduli satisfy both BBN constraints and avoid th...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant and the Coincidence Problem in a New Cosmological Interpretation of the Universal Constant " C "
In a recent paper [1] it has been suggested that the velocity of light and the expansion of the universe are two aspects of one single concept connecting space and time in the expanding universe. It has then be shown that solving Friedmann's equations with that interpretation (and keeping c = constant) can explain number of unnatural features of the standard cosmology (for example: the flatness...
