Racetrack Inflation and Cosmic Strings
Philippe Brax, Carsten van de Bruck, Anne-Christine Davis +3
We consider the coupling of racetrack inflation to matter fields as realised in the D3/D7 brane system. In particular, we investigate the possibility of cosmic string formation in…
SUGRA chaotic inflation and moduli stabilisation
Stephen C. Davis, Marieke Postma
Chaotic inflation predicts a large gravitational wave signal which can be tested by the upcoming Planck satellite. We discuss a SUGRA implementation of chaotic inflation in the pre…
Mimicking general relativity in the solar system
Luca Amendola, Christos Charmousis, Stephen C. Davis
In order for a modified gravity model to be a candidate for cosmological dark energy it has to pass stringent local gravity experiments. We find that a Brans-Dicke (BD) theory with…
