Cosmology for Grand Unified Theories with Radiatively Induced Symmetry Breaking
The treatment of first-order phase transitions for standard grand unified theories is shown to break down for models with radiatively induced spontaneous symmetry breaking. It i...
Spontaneous creation of almost scale-free density perturbations in an inflationary universe
The creation and evolution of energy-density perturbations are analyzed for the "new inflationary universe" scenario proposed by Linde, and Albrecht and Steinhardt. According to...
String axiverse
String theory suggests the simultaneous presence of many ultralight axions\npossibly populating each decade of mass down to the Hubble scale 10^-33eV.\nConversely the presence o...
Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems
The standard model of hot big-bang cosmology requires initial conditions which are problematic in two ways: (1) The early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite ...
Phase Transitions and Magnetic Monopole Production in the Very Early Universe
In grand unified models, the abundance of superheavy magnetic monopoles in the universe can be suppressed if (1) the phase transition which creates the monopoles occurs after mu...
