Late cosmology of brane gases with a two-form field
arXiv:hep-th/0311144 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.01.078
Abstract
We consider the effects of a two-form field on the late-time dynamics of brane gas cosmologies. Assuming thermal equilibrium of winding states, we find that the presence of a form field allows a late stage of expansion of the Universe even when the winding degrees of freedom decay into a pressureless gas of string loops. Finally, we suggest to understand the dimensionality of the Universe not as a result of the thermal equilibrium condition but rather as a consequence of the symmetries of the geometry.
