Fermion zero modes in N=2 supervortices
A. Achucarro, A. C. Davis, M. Pickles +1
We study the fermionic zero modes of BPS semilocal magnetic vortices in N=2 supersymmetric QED with a Fayet-Iliopoulos term and two matter hypermultiplets of opposite charge. There…
Inflationary Dynamics with Runaway Potentials
P. R. Ashcroft, C. van de Bruck, A. -C. Davis
The evolution of two slow--rolling scalar fields with potentials of the form is studied. Considering different values of the parameters , and ,…
Suppression of Entropy Perturbations in Multi--Field Inflation on the Brane
P. R. Ashcroft, C. van de Bruck, A. -C. Davis
At energies higher than the brane tension, the dynamics of a scalar field rolling down a potential are modified relative to the predictions of General Relativity. The modifications…
Microwave Background Constraints on Decaying Defects
Robert H. Brandenberger, Brandon Carter, Anne-Christine Davis
Embedded defects are predicted in a host of particle physics theories, in particular in the standard electroweak theory. They can be stabilized by interactions with the cosmologica…
Thermal Stabilisation of Superconducting Sigma Strings and their Drum Vortons
Brandon Carter, Robert H. Brandenberger, Anne-Christine Davis
We discuss various issues related to stabilized embedded strings in a thermal background. In particular, we demonstrate that such strings will generically become superconducting at…
Cosmological Creation of D-branes and anti-D-branes
Mahbub Majumdar, Anne-Christine Davis
We argue that the early universe may be described by an initial state of space-filling branes and anti-branes. At high temperature this system is stable. At low temperature tachyon…
