Small cosmological signatures from multi-brane models
Carlo R. Contaldi, Gavin Nicholson, Horace Stoica
We analyse the signatures of brane inflation models with moduli stabilisation. These are hybrid inflation models with a non-trivial field-space metric which can induce complex traj…
Constraints on Brane Inflation and Cosmic Strings
Richard A. Battye, Bjorn Garbrecht, Adam Moss +1
By considering simple, but representative, models of brane inflation from a single brane-antibrane pair in the slow roll regime, we provide constraints on the parameters of the the…
Kaluza-Klein relics from warped reheating
Aaron Berndsen, James M. Cline, Horace Stoica
It has been suggested that after brane-antibrane inflation in a Klebanov-Strassler (KS) warped throat, metastable Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations can be formed due to nearly-conserve…
Brane Decay and Defect Formation
Horace Stoica
Topological defects are generically expected to form in models of brane inflation. Brane-anti-brane annihilation provides a way to gracefully end inflation, and the dynamics of the…
Motion in Brane World Models: The Bazanski Approach
M. E. Kahil
Recently, path equations have been obtained for charged, spinning objects in brane world models, using a modified Bazanski Lagrangian. In this study, path deviation equations of ex…
Numerical experiments with p F- and q D-strings: the formation of (p,q) bound states
Arttu Rajantie, Mairi Sakellariadou, Horace Stoica
We investigate the behaviour of (p,q) string networks, focusing on two aspects: (1) modelling more realistic (p,q) string networks than the Z_N networks used so far and (2) investi…
