Discrete Gauge Symmetry and Aharonov-Bohm Radiation in String Theory
arXiv:1310.4026 · doi:10.1007/JHEP01(2014)049
Abstract
We investigate cosmological constraints on phenomenological models with discrete gauge symmetries by discussing the radiation of standard model particles from Aharonov-Bohm strings. Using intersecting D-brane models in Type IIA string theory, we demonstrate that Aharonov-Bohm radiation, when combined with cosmological observations, imposes constraints on the compactification scales.
