Inflating Defects
Patricio S. Letelier, Luis E. Mendes
TL;DR
This paper investigates a Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model incorporating an O(3) global defect within the framework of topological inflation, aiming to understand how such defects influence early universe inflationary dynamics.
Contribution
It introduces a novel combination of Kantowski-Sachs models with global defects in the context of topological inflation, expanding the understanding of defect-driven inflationary scenarios.
Findings
Global defects can drive inflation in Kantowski-Sachs models.
The model provides insights into anisotropic inflationary behaviors.
Potential implications for early universe cosmology and defect formation.
Abstract
A Kantowski-Sachs cosmological model with an O(3) global defect as a source is studied in the context of the topological inflation scenario.
