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…
D-term Uplifted Racetrack Inflation
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Stephen C. Davis +2
It is shown that racetrack inflation can be implemented in a moduli stabilisation scenario with a supersymmetric uplifting D-term. The resulting model is completely described by an…
D-term inflation after spontaneous symmetry breaking
Bart Clauwens, Rachel Jeannerot
We show that 1-loop quantum corrections to the potential energy density in supersymmetric hybrid inflation, outside the inflationary valley, can not be neglected. A method is prese…
Moduli Corrections to D-term Inflation
Ph. Brax, C. van de Bruck, A. C. Davis +3
We present a D-term hybrid inflation model, embedded in supergravity with moduli stabilisation. Its novel features allow us to overcome the serious challenges of combining D-term i…
Cosmology of B-L cosmic strings
R. Jeannerot
cosmic strings form in a wide class of theories beyond the Standard Model which contain a gauge symmetry. They can form at the end of hybrid…
Grand unified models and cosmology
Rachel Jeannerot
The cosmological consequences of particle physics grand unified theories (GUTs) are studied. Cosmological models are implemented in realistic particle physics models. Models consis…
