Topological Curvatons
arXiv:hep-ph/0509063 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.72.123508
Abstract
Topological defects may play the role of the curvatons. We propose a new mechanism of generating density perturbations from cosmological defects in inflationary models. We show several examples in which defects play crucial role in generating density perturbations.
