Constraining SUSY GUTS with Cosmology
Mairi Sakellariadou, Jonathan Rocher
Cosmic strings of the GUT scale, generically formed during the SSB of supersymmetric hybrid inflation, are compatible with the most recent CMB data. The strong constraints on the a…
Genericity of Cosmic Strings Formation in SUSY GUTs
J. Rocher, R. Jeannerot, M. Sakellariadou
The idea of GUT implies that the universe went through a series of phase transitions during which topological defects are expected to form. We investigate here the genericity of co…
Consistency of cosmic strings with cosmic microwave background measurements
Jonathan Rocher, Mairi Sakellariadou
In the context of SUSY GUTs, GUT scale cosmic strings formed at the end of hybrid inflation are compatible with currently available CMB measurements. The maximum allowed cosmic str…
The role of topologigal defects in cosmology
Mairi Sakellariadou
Topological defects are involved in a plethora of physical and astrophysical phenomena. In these lectures, I will review the r\^ ole they could play in the large-scale structure fo…
Non-vacuum initial states for the cosmological perturbations and the back-reaction problem of inflation
Alejandro Gangui, Jerome Martin, Mairi Sakellariadou
In the framework of Inflationary theory, the assumption that the quantum state of the perturbations is a non-vacuum state leads to a difficulty: non-vacuum initial states imply, in…
CMB: The ultimate test for theoretical models aiming at describing the very early universe
Mairi Sakellariadou
In this talk, I will illustrate how one can use the cosmic microwave background anisotropy measurements, in order to test theoretical models aiming at describing the early universe…
