Crossing the cosmological constant line in a dilatonic brane-world model with and without curvature corrections
Mariam Bouhmadi-Lopez, Antonio Ferrera
We construct a new brane-world model composed of a bulk -with a dilatonic field-, plus a brane -with brane tension coupled to the dilaton-, cold dark matter and an induced gravity…
Self-overlap as a method of analysis in Ising models
A. Ferrera, B. Luque, L. Lacasa +1
The damage spreading method (DS) provided a useful tool to obtain analytical results of the thermodynamics and stability of the 2D Ising model --amongst many others--, but it suffe…
Defect Formation Rates in Cosmological First-Order Phase Transitions
Matthew Lilley, Antonio Ferrera
In cosmological first-order phase transitions, the progress of true-vacuum bubbles is expected to be significantly retarded by the interaction between the bubble wall and the hot p…
Measuring Mutual Information in Random Boolean Networks
Bartolo Luque, Antonio Ferrera
During the last few years an area of active research in the field of complex systems is that of their information storing and processing abilities. Common opinion has it that the m…
How does the geodesic rule really work for global symmetry breaking first order phase transitions?
Antonio Ferrera
The chain of events usually understood to lead to the formation of topological defects during phase transitions is known as the Kibble mechanism. A central component of the mechani…
Defect Formation in First Order Phase Transitions with Damping
Antonio Ferrera
Within the context of first order phase transitions in the early universe, we study the influence of a coupling between the (global U(1)) scalar driving the transition and the rest…
