Biased Domain Walls and the Origin of Early Massive Structures
Clara Winckler, Pedro P. Avelino, Lara Sousa
Discrete symmetry-breaking phase transitions in the early universe may have caused the formation of networks of sheet-like topological defects, usually referred to as domain walls,…
Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background from Chiral Superconducting Cosmic Strings
I. Yu. Rybak, L. Sousa
We investigate the emission of vector radiation by superconducting cosmic string loops, deriving general relations to characterize the vector radiation emission efficiency, and stu…
Ultra-high frequency gravitational waves from cosmic strings with friction
S. Mukovnikov, L. Sousa
We include the effect of the frictional force caused by interactions between cosmic strings and the particles of the background plasma in the computation of the stochastic gravitat…
Full analytical approximation to the stochastic gravitational wave background generated by cosmic string networks
Lara Sousa, Pedro P. Avelino, Guilherme S. F. Guedes
We derive a full analytical approximation to the stochastic gravitational wave background generated by the loops that are produced throughout the cosmological evolution of cosmic s…
Revisiting the VOS model for monopoles
Lara Sousa, Pedro P. Avelino
We revisit the physical properties of global and local monopoles and discuss their implications in the dynamics of monopole networks. In particular, we review the Velocity-dependen…
