Anisotropic 'hairs' in string cosmology

arXiv:gr-qc/9912081 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/17/13/311

Abstract

In this letter we investigate whether the isotropy problem is naturally solved in inflationary cosmologies inspired by string theory, so called pre-big-bang cosmologies. We find that, in contrast to what happens in the more common 'potential inflation' models, initial anisotropies do not decay during pre-big-bang inflation.
