Bogomol'nyi Bounds for Gravitational Cosmic Strings
Anne-Christine Davis, Senthooran Rajamanoharan
We present a new method for finding lower bounds on the energy of topological cosmic string solutions in gravitational field theories. This new method produces bounds that are vali…
Brane Inflation and Defect Formation
A. C. Davis, P. Brax, C. van de Bruck
Brane inflation and the production of topological defects at the end of the inflationary phase are discussed. After a description of the inflationary setup we discuss the propertie…
A Study of Structure Formation and Reheating in the D3/D7 Brane Inflation Model
Robert H. Brandenberger, Keshav Dasgupta, Anne-Christine Davis
We study the spectrum of cosmological fluctuations in the D3/D7 brane inflationary universe with particular attention to the parametric excitation of entropy modes during the rehea…
