On Random Bubble Lattices
Andrew de Laix, Tanmay Vachaspati
We study random bubble lattices which can be produced by processes such as first order phase transitions, and derive characteristics that are important for understanding the percol…
Topological Inflation with Multiple Winding
Andrew A. de Laix, Mark Trodden, Tanmay Vachaspati
We analyze the core dynamics of critically coupled, superheavy gauge vortices in the (2+1) dimensional Einstein-Abelian-Higgs system. By numerically solving the Eistein and field e…
Sensitivity of Redshift Distortion Measurements to Cosmological Parameters
Andrew A. de Laix, Glenn Starkman
The multipole moments of the power spectrum of large scale structure, observed in redshift space, are calculated for a finite sample volume including the effects of both the linear…
Observing Long Cosmic Strings Through Gravitational Lensing
Andrew A. de Laix
We consider the gravitational lensing produced by long cosmic strings formed in a GUT scale phase transition. We derive a formula for the deflection of photons which pass near the…
Gravitational Lensing Signature of Long Cosmic Strings
Andrew A. de Laix, Lawrence M. Krauss, Tanmay Vachaspati
The gravitational lensing by long, wiggly cosmic strings is shown to produce a large number of lensed images of a background source. In addition to pairs of images on either side o…
