Cosmic D--term Strings as Wrapped D3 Branes
Edi Halyo
We describe cosmic D--term strings as D3 branes wrapped on a resolved conifold. The matter content that gives rise to D--term strings is shown to describe the world--volume theory…
Inflation on Fractional Branes: D--Brane Inflation as D--Term Inflation
Edi Halyo
We describe a D--brane inflation model which consists of two fractional D3 branes separated on a transverse . Inflation arises due to the resolved orbifold singulari…
Gravitational Entropy and String Bits on the Stretched Horizon
Edi Halyo
We show that the entropy of Schwarzschild black holes in any dimension can be described by a gas of free string bits at the stretched horizon. The number of string bits is equal to…
Models of Inflation on D-Branes
Edi Halyo
We obtain models of chaotic, slow--roll, hybrid and D--term inflation from the Hanany--Witten brane configuration and its deformations. The deformations are given by the different…
