Skyrme Branes
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Handhika S. Ramadhan, Noriko Shiiki
We obtain static selfgravitating solitonic 3-brane solutions in the Einstein-Skyrme model in 7D. These solitons correspond to a smooth version of the previously discussed cosmic p-…
Holographic Multiverse
J. Garriga, A. Vilenkin
We explore the idea that the dynamics of the inflationary multiverse is encoded in its future boundary, where it is described by a lower dimensional theory which is conformally inv…
Predicting the cosmological constant with the scale-factor cutoff measure
Andrea De Simone, Alan H. Guth, Michael P. Salem +1
It is well known that anthropic selection from a landscape with a flat prior distribution of cosmological constant Lambda gives a reasonable fit to observation. However, a realisti…
Fundamental Plasmid Strings and Black Rings
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Roberto Emparan, Alberto Iglesias
We construct excited states of fundamental strings that admit a semiclassical description as rotating circular loops of string. We identify them with the supergravity solutions for…
