Probing the scale of grand unification with gravitational waves
Wilfried Buchmuller, Valerie Domcke, Hitoshi Murayama +1
The spontaneous breaking of U(1)_B-L around the scale of grand unification can simultaneously account for hybrid inflation, leptogenesis, and neutralino dark matter, thus resolving…
Measuring the net circular polarization of the stochastic gravitational wave background with interferometers
Valerie Domcke, Juan Garcia-Bellido, Marco Peloso +4
Parity violating interactions in the early Universe can source a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) with a net circular polarization. In this paper, we study possible…
Chiral Anomaly, Schwinger Effect, Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, and application to axion inflation
Valerie Domcke, Yohei Ema, Kyohei Mukaida
Particle production in strong electromagnetic fields is a recurring theme in solid state physics, heavy ion collisions, early universe cosmology and formal quantum field theory. In…
Baryogenesis from axion inflation
Valerie Domcke, Benedict von Harling, Enrico Morgante +1
The coupling of an axion-like particle driving inflation to the Standard Model particle content through a Chern-Simons term generically sources a dual production of massless helica…
The Different Regimes of Axion Gauge Field Inflation
Valerie Domcke, Stefan Sandner
In axion gauge field inflation an axion-like particle driving cosmic inflation is coupled to the Chern-Simons density of an Abelian or non-Abelian gauge group. In the case of a non…
