Thermodynamic Geometry and Type 0A Black Holes
Narit Pidokrajt, John Ward
In this note we study thermodynamic geometry of the type 0A black hole solution in string theory using a variety of different methods (Ruppeiner, Weinhold and Geometrothermodynamic…
Towards an Observational Appraisal of String Cosmology
David J. Mulryne, John Ward
We review the current observational status of string cosmology when confronted with experimental datasets. We begin by defining common observational parameters and discuss how they…
A Generalisation of the Nielsen-Olesen Vortex: Non-cylindrical strings in a modified Abelian-Higgs model
Matthew Lake, John Ward
We modify the standard Abelian-Higgs model by introducing spatially-dependent couplings for the scalar and vector fields. We investigate static, non-cylindrically symmetric solutio…
Bounds on Tensor wave and Twisted Inflation
Sudhakar Panda, M. Sami, John Ward
We study the bounds on tensor wave in a class of twisted inflation models where -branes are wrapped on cycles in the compact manifold and wrap the KK-direction in the corr…
Gauge field back-reaction in Born Infeld cosmologies
Paulo Vargas Moniz, John Ward
In this paper, we investigate the back-reaction of gauge fields into a class of inflationary settings. To be more precise, we employ a Bianchi-I geometry (taken as an anisot…
Non-topological Cycloops
Matthew Lake, Steven Thomas, John Ward
We propose a mechanism for the creation of cosmic string loops with dynamically stabilised windings in the internal space. Assuming a velocity correlations regime in the post-infla…
