Stability of the pion string in a thermal and dense medium

A Berera, R Brandenberger, J Mabillard, RO Ramos - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We investigate the stability of the pion string in a thermal bath and a dense medium. We find
that stability is dependent on the order of the chiral transition. String core stability within the …

Pion string evolving in a thermal bath

F Lu, Q Chen, H Mao - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
By using the symmetry improved Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective formalism, we study a
pion string of the O (4) linear sigma model at finite temperature in chiral limit. In terms of the …

Baryon production from embedded metastable strings

J Karouby, AM Srivastava - arXiv preprint arXiv:1312.0601, 2013 - arxiv.org
We quantify the baryon anti-baryon production generated by a metastable cosmic string,
similar to the embedded pion string. More precisely, we study skyrmion production mediated …

Fluctuation and dissipation dynamics in the early universe

J Mabillard - 2019 - era.ed.ac.uk
The aim of this thesis is to study the effects of fluctuation and dissipation dynamics in Early
Universe cosmology. The formal description of the Early Universe relies on cosmological …
