Cosmological constraints on string scale and coupling arising from tachyonic instability
Kari Enqvist, Asko Jokinen, Anupam Mazumdar +2
We demonstrate that string motivated inflation ending via tachyonic instability leaves a detectable imprint on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation by virtue of the exci…
Non-Gaussianity from Instant and Tachyonic Preheating
Kari Enqvist, Asko Jokinen, Anupam Mazumdar +2
We study non-Gaussianity in two distinct models of preheating: instant and tachyonic. In instant preheating non-Gaussianity is sourced by the local terms generated through the coup…
Non-Gaussianity from Preheating
Kari Enqvist, Asko Jokinen, Anupam Mazumdar +2
We consider a two-field model for inflation where the second order metric perturbations can be amplified by a parametric resonance during preheating. We demonstrate that there can…
Seed perturbations for primordial magnetic fields from MSSM flat directions
Kari Enqvist, Asko Jokinen, Anupam Mazumdar
We demonstrate that the MSSM flat directions can naturally account for the seed magnetic fields in the early Universe. The non-zero vacuum expectation value of an MSSM flat directi…
Baryogenesis in models with large extra dimensions
Anupam Mazumdar, Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Kari Enqvist +1
We describe how difficult it is to realise baryogenesis in models where the fundamental scale in nature is as low as TeV. The problem becomes even more challenging if we assume tha…
Testing B-ball cosmology with the CMB
Kari Enqvist
In D-term inflation models, the fluctuations of squark fields in the flat directions give rise to isocurvature density fluctuations stored in the Affleck-Dine condensate. After the…
