Scaling of cosmological domain wall networks with junctions
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We describe the results of the largest and most accurate three-dimensional field theory simulations of domain wall networks with junctions. We consider a previously introduced clas…
Frustrated Expectations: Defect Networks and Dark Energy
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. Menezes +2
We discuss necessary conditions for a network of cosmic domain walls to have a chance of providing the dark energy that might explain the recent acceleration of the universe. We de…
Linearized Bekenstein Varying Alpha Models
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. C. R. E. Oliveira
We study the simplest class of Bekenstein-type, varying models, in which the two available free functions (potential and gauge kinetic function) are Taylor-expanded up to linea…
