Large-Scale Primordial Magnetic Fields from Inflation and Preheating
Ola Tornkvist, Anne-Christine Davis, Konstantinos Dimopoulos +1
We consider models in which the (transverse) photon mass is non-zero during inflation and drops to zero non-adiabatically at the end of inflation. Through this process, vacuum fluc…
Primordial Spectrum of Gauge Fields from Inflation
Anne-Christine Davis, Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Tomislav Prokopec +1
We show that conformal invariance of gauge fields is naturally broken in inflation, having as a consequence amplification of gauge fields. The resulting spectrum of the field stren…
Dynamics and properties of chiral cosmic strings in Minkowski space
A. C. Davis, T. W. B. Kibble, M. Pickles +1
Chiral cosmic strings are produced naturally at the end of inflation in supersymmetric models where the symmetry is broken via a D-term. Consequently in such theories, where both i…
