Scaling Laws for Non-Intercommuting Cosmic String Networks
C. J. A. P. Martins
We study the evolution of non-interacting and entangled cosmic string networks in the context of the velocity-dependent one-scale model. Such networks may be formed in several cont…
The Cosmological Evolution of Domain Wall Networks
J. C. R. E. Oliveira, C. J. A. P. Martins, P. P. Avelino
We have studied the cosmological evolution of domain wall networks in two, three and four spatial dimensions using high-resolution field theory simulations. The dynamical range and…
New Constraints on Varying Alpha
C. J. A. P. Martins
I briefly present some current theoretical motivations for time or space variations of the fundamental constants of nature and review current key observational results. I focus on…
Linearized Bekenstein Varying Alpha Models
P. P. Avelino, C. J. A. P. Martins, J. C. R. E. Oliveira
We study the simplest class of Bekenstein-type, varying models, in which the two available free functions (potential and gauge kinetic function) are Taylor-expanded up to linea…
