DILATON-DRIVEN INFLATION IN STRING COSMOLOGY

TL;DR

This paper explores a string theory-based cosmological model featuring dilaton-driven inflation, predicting a stochastic gravitational wave background potentially detectable by future experiments.

Contribution

It introduces a dilaton-driven inflation scenario within string cosmology and predicts a detectable gravitational wave background.

Findings

Generation of a stochastic gravitational wave background

Potential detectability in future gravity wave experiments

Novel application of string theory to early universe inflation

Abstract

I present an outline for cosmological evolution in the framework of string theory with emphasis on a phase of dilaton-driven kinetic inflation. It is shown that a typical background of stochastic gravitational radiation is generated, with strength that may allow its detection in future gravity wave experiments.
