Cuspidal Singularities in Collapsing Domain Walls
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Matthew Elley, Francesc Ferrer +4
Domain wall networks have attracted renewed interest, particularly in relation to the dynamics of network collapse. Accurately describing this process is challenging and typically…
From Cusps to Swallowtails: Domain Wall singularities in 2+1 dimensions
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel Jiménez-Aguilar, Oriol Pujolàs
The effective Nambu-Goto description of -dimensional domain walls predicts singular behavior of its worldsheet resulting in swallowtail bifurcations. This phenomenon is inti…
Effective Actions for Domain Wall Dynamics
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Alberto García Martín-Caro, Daniel Jiménez-Aguilar +1
We introduce a systematic method to derive the effective action for domain walls directly from the scalar field theory that gives rise to their solitonic solutions. The effective a…
Nambu-Goto Dynamics of Field Theory Cosmic String Loops
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel Jiménez-Aguilar, Joanes Lizarraga +4
We perform a detailed comparison of the dynamics of cosmic string loops obtained in cosmological field theory simulations with their expected motion according to the Nambu-Goto act…
Parametric Resonances in Axionic Cosmic Strings
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel Jiménez-Aguilar, Jose M. Queiruga +1
In this letter we uncover a new parametric resonance of axionic cosmic strings. This process is triggered by the presence on the string of internal mode excitations that resonantly…
The dynamics of Domain Wall Strings
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel Jiménez-Aguilar, Jose M. Queiruga +1
We study the dynamics of domain wall solitons in field theories. These objects are extended along one of the spatial directions, so they also behave as strings; hence the…
