Cosmological Phase Transitions in a Brane World
Stephen C. Davis, Warren B. Perkins, Anne-Christine Davis +1
In brane world scenarios the Friedmann equation is modified, resulting in an increased expansion at early times. This has important effects on cosmological phase transitions which…
Cosmic Strings and Cooper Pairs
Stephen C. Davis
It is shown that it is possible for bound fermions on a cosmic string to form a superconducting state. Due to the attractive force between them, particles moving in opposite direct…
Brane World Linearized Cosmic String Gravity
Stephen C. Davis
The gravitational properties of cosmic strings in the Randall-Sundrum brane world scenario are investigated. Using a gauge in which the brane remains straight, the leading order co…
Brane World Cosmology Without the Z_2 Symmetry
Anne-Christine Davis, Ian Vernon, Stephen C. Davis +1
The Friedmann equation for a positive tension brane situated between two bulk spacetimes that posses the same 5D cosmological constant, but which does not posses a Z_2 symmetry of…
The Fate of Cosmic String Zero Modes
Anne-Christine Davis, Stephen C. Davis, Warren B. Perkins
Cosmic strings in realistic particle physics models have fermion zero modes in the string core. Such zero modes change the underlying cosmology; for example, the string can carry a…
