Inflation and cosmic (super)strings: implications of their intimate relation revisited
arXiv:1308.6666 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/544/1/012027
Abstract
We briefly discuss constraints on supersymmetric hybrid inflation models and examine the consistency of brane inflation models. We then address the implications for inflationary scenarios resulting from the strong constraints on the cosmic (super)string tension imposed from the most recent cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies data.
