Spectral Dependence of CMB Polarization and Parity
K. R. S. Balaji, Robert H. Brandenberger, Damien A. Easson
The polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) can serve as a probe for nonstandard parity violating interactions. Many such interactions are predicted in par…
Inflation and Brane Gases
Robert Brandenberger, Damien A. Easson, Anupam Mazumdar
We investigate a new way of realizing a period of cosmological inflation in the context of brane gas cosmology. It is argued that a gas of co-dimension one branes, out of thermal e…
Towards a Stringy Resolution of the Cosmological Singularity
Damien A. Easson
We study cosmological solutions to the low-energy effective action of heterotic string theory including possible leading order corrections and a potential for the dilaton. We…
Brane inflation and reheating
John H. Brodie, Damien A. Easson
We study inflation and reheating in a brane world model derived from Type IIA string theory. This particular setup is based on a model of string mediated supersymmetry breaking. Th…
Brane Gas Cosmology and Loitering
Damien A. Easson
In Brane Gas Cosmology (BGC) the initial state of the universe is taken to be small, dense and hot, with all fundamental degrees of freedom near thermal equilibrium. This starting…
Brane Gases on K3 and Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Damien A. Easson
We initiate the study of Brane Gas Cosmology (BGC) on manifolds with non-trivial holonomy. Such compactifications are required within the context of superstring theory in order to…
