Thermal Duality and Hagedorn Transition from p-adic Strings
Tirthabir Biswas, Jose A. R. Cembranos, Joseph I. Kapusta
We develop the finite temperature theory of p-adic string models. We find that the thermal properties of these non-local field theories can be interpreted either as contributions o…
Are we seeing the beginnings of Inflation?
Cosmin Ilie, Tirthabir Biswas, Katherine Freese
Phantom Cosmology provides an unique opportunity to "connect" the phantom driven (low en- ergy meV scale) dark energy phase to the (high energy GUT scale) inflationary era. This is…
Cosmological Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer condensate as dark energy
Stephon Alexander, Tirthabir Biswas, Gianluca Calcagni
We argue that the occurrence of late-time acceleration can conveniently be described by first-order general relativity covariantly coupled to fermions. Dark energy arises as a Bard…
Inflation with a Negative Cosmological Constant
Tirthabir Biswas, Anupam Mazumdar
We find a unique way of realizing inflation through cyclic phases in an universe with negative vacuum energy. According to the second law of thermodynamics entropy monotonically in…
