Dynamics of domain wall networks with junctions
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We use a combination of analytic tools and an extensive set of the largest and most accurate three-dimensional field theory numerical simulations to study the dynamics of domain wa…
Effects of Inflation on a Cosmic String Loop Population
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, E. P. S. Shellard
We study the evolution of simple cosmic string loop solutions in an inflationary universe. We show, for the particular case of circular loops, that periodic solutions do exist in a…
Defect Junctions and Domain Wall Dynamics
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We study a number of domain wall forming models where various types of defect junctions can exist. These illustrate some of the mechanisms that will determine the evolution of defe…
One-scale Model for Domain Wall Network Evolution
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. C. R. E. Oliveira
We introduce a new phenomenological one-scale model for the evolution of domain wall networks, and test it against high-resolution field theory numerical simulations. We argue that…
The Cosmological Evolution of Domain Wall Networks
J. C. R. E. Oliveira, C. J. A. P. Martins, P. P. Avelino
We have studied the cosmological evolution of domain wall networks in two, three and four spatial dimensions using high-resolution field theory simulations. The dynamical range and…
