Why do we live in 3+1 dimensions?
Ruth Durrer, Martin Kunz, Mairi Sakellariadou
In the context of string theory we argue that higher dimensional Dp-branes unwind and evaporate so that we are left with D3-branes embedded in a (9+1)-dimensional bulk. One of thes…
Constraining SUSY GUTS with Cosmology
Mairi Sakellariadou, Jonathan Rocher
Cosmic strings of the GUT scale, generically formed during the SSB of supersymmetric hybrid inflation, are compatible with the most recent CMB data. The strong constraints on the a…
Genericity of Cosmic Strings Formation in SUSY GUTs
J. Rocher, R. Jeannerot, M. Sakellariadou
The idea of GUT implies that the universe went through a series of phase transitions during which topological defects are expected to form. We investigate here the genericity of co…
Consistency of cosmic strings with cosmic microwave background measurements
Jonathan Rocher, Mairi Sakellariadou
In the context of SUSY GUTs, GUT scale cosmic strings formed at the end of hybrid inflation are compatible with currently available CMB measurements. The maximum allowed cosmic str…
