Evolution of Semilocal String Networks: I. Large-scale Properties
A. Achúcarro, A. Avgoustidis, A. M. M. Leite +4
We report on a detailed numerical study of the evolution of semilocal string networks, based on the largest and most accurate field theory simulations of these objects to date. We…
Features of heavy physics in the CMB power spectrum
Ana Achúcarro, Jinn-Ouk Gong, Sjoerd Hardeman +2
The computation of the primordial power spectrum in multi-field inflation models requires us to correctly account for all relevant interactions between adiabatic and non-adiabatic…
On the formation of non-topological string networks
Ana Achúcarro, Julian Borrill, Andrew R. Liddle
We review recent simulations of the formation of a particular class of non-topological defects known as semilocal strings during a phase transition. Semilocal strings have properti…
