Cosmological Evolution of Semilocal String Networks
A. Achucarro, A. Avgoustidis, A. Lopez-Eiguren +2
Semilocal strings -- a particular limit of electroweak strings -- are an interesting example of a stable non-topological defect whose properties resemble those of their topological…
Scalarization of asymptotically Anti-de Sitter black holes with applications to holographic phase transitions
Yves Brihaye, Betti Hartmann, Nathália Pio Aprile +1
We study the spontaneous scalarization of spherically symmetric, static and asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (aAdS) black holes in a scalar-tensor gravity model with non-mininal coupl…
The scaling density of axion strings
Mark Hindmarsh, Joanes Lizarraga, Asier Lopez-Eiguren +1
In the QCD axion dark matter scenario with post-inflationary Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking, the number density of axions, and hence the dark matter density, depends on the length…
