Cosmological consequences of MSSM flat directions

K Enqvist, A Mazumdar - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
We review the cosmological implications of the flat directions of the minimally
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We describe how field condensates are created …

Non-Gaussian isocurvature perturbations from inflation

A Linde, V Mukhanov - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
We present a class of very simple inflationary models of two scalar fields which leads to non-
Gaussian isothermal perturbations with a “blue” spectrum, n> 1. One of the models is …

Tensor-scalar gravity and binary-pulsar experiments

T Damour, G Esposito-Farese - Physical Review D, 1996 - APS
Some recently discovered nonperturbative strong-field effects in tensor-scalar theories of
gravitation are interpreted as a scalar analogue of ferromagnetism:" spontaneous …

Cosmological implications of dynamical supersymmetry breaking

T Banks, DB Kaplan, AE Nelson - Physical Review D, 1994 - APS
We provide a taxonomy of dynamical supersymmetry-breaking theories, and discuss the
cosmological implications of the various types of models. Models in which supersymmetry …

Model-independent properties and cosmological implications of the dilaton and moduli sectors of 4D strings

B De Carlos, JA Casas, F Quevedo, E Roulet - Physics Letters B, 1993 - Elsevier
We show that if there is a realistic 4D string, the dilaton and moduli supermultiplets will
generically acquire a small mass∼ O (m 3 2), providing the only vacuum-independent …

Big bang nucleosynthesis and physics beyond the standard model

S Sarkar - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1996 - iopscience.iop.org
The Hubble expansion of galaxies, the 2.73 K black-body radiation background and the
cosmic abundances of the light elements argue for a hot, dense origin of the universe-the …

Quantum gravity effects on dark matter and gravitational waves

SF King, R Roshan, X Wang, G White, M Yamazaki - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We explore how quantum gravity effects, manifested through the breaking of discrete
symmetry responsible for both dark matter and domain walls, can have observational effects …

How warm are non-thermal relics? Lyman-α bounds on out-of-equilibrium dark matter

G Ballesteros, MAG Garcia… - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the power spectrum of Non-Cold Dark Matter (NCDM) produced in a state out
of thermal equilibrium. We consider dark matter production from the decay of scalar …

Kination cosmology from scalar fields and gravitational-wave signatures

Y Gouttenoire, G Servant, P Simakachorn - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
Kination denotes an era in the cosmological history corresponding to an equation of state
$\omega=+ 1$ such that the total energy density of the universe redshifts as the sixth inverse …
