Eikonal Scattering in Kaluza-Klein Gravity
Arnau Koemans Collado, Steven Thomas
We study eikonal scattering in the context of Kaluza-Klein theory by considering a massless scalar field coupled to Einstein's gravity in 5D compactified to 4D on a manifold $M_4\t…
The Subleading Eikonal in Supergravity Theories
Arnau Koemans Collado, Paolo Di Vecchia, Rodolfo Russo +1
In this paper we study the subleading contributions to eikonal scattering in (super)gravity theories with particular emphasis on the role of both elastic and inelastic scattering p…
Generating the cosmic microwave background power asymmetry with
Zachary Kenton, David J. Mulryne, Steven Thomas
We consider a higher order term in the expansion for the CMB power asymmetry generated by a superhorizon isocurvature field fluctuation. The term can generate the asymmetry wi…
D-brane Potentials in the Warped Resolved Conifold and Natural Inflation
Zachary Kenton, Steven Thomas
In this paper we obtain a model of Natural Inflation from string theory with a Planckian decay constant. We investigate D-brane dynamics in the background of the warped resolved co…
Maxwell-Chern-Simons Vortices and Holographic Superconductors
Gianni Tallarita, Steven Thomas
We investigate probe limit vortex solutions of a charged scalar field in Einstein-Maxwell theory in 3+1 dimensions, for an asymptotically AdS Schwarzschild black hole metric with t…
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…
