A Note on 4d Kination and Higher-Dimensional Uplifts
Fien Apers, Joseph P. Conlon, Martin Mosny
This note expands on the details of the relationship between 4d kination solutions in string cosmology and Kasner solutions of 10d general relativity. It extends previous analyses…
Percolating Cosmic String Networks from Kination
Joseph P. Conlon, Edmund J. Copeland, Edward Hardy +1
We describe a new mechanism, whose ingredients are realised in string compactifications, for the formation of cosmic (super)string networks. Oscillating string loops grow when thei…
String Theory and the Early Universe: Constraints and Opportunities
Joseph P. Conlon
This is a short account, based on a talk given at the 2024 Moriond Cosmology Conference, of where and why string theory matters in early universe cosmology. It is written for a cos…
String Theory and the First Half of the Universe
Fien Apers, Joseph P. Conlon, Edmund J. Copeland +2
We perform a detailed study of stringy moduli-driven cosmologies between the end of inflation and the commencement of the Hot Big Bang, including both the background and cosmologic…
