Dynamical Systems and Superstring Phases in the Early Universe
Noelia Sánchez González, Joseph P. Conlon, Edmund J. Copeland +1
We study the string theory dynamics of the volume scalar rolling down an exponential potential during the period between inflation and reheating, in a background of cosmic superstr…

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…
