Constraining supersymmetric SO(10) models through cosmology.

چکیده
We study the impact of the symmetry breaking patterns from supersymmetric SO(10) down to the standard model on the standard big-bang cosmology through the formation of topological defects. None of the models is consistent with the standard cosmology without invoking any mechanism to solve the monopole problem. For this purpose, we use a hybrid false vacuum inflationary scenario. Only two symmetry breaking patterns are consistent with these topological considerations and with the actual data on the proton lifetime.

Searching for Supersymmetric Dark Matter. the Modulation Effect Due to the Caustic Rings
The detection of the theoretically expected dark matter is central to particle physics and cosmology. Current fashionable supersymmetric models provide a natural dark matter candidate which is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The theoretically obtained event rates are usually very low or even undetectable. So the experimentalists would like to exploit the modulation effect. In the pr...
متن کاملConstraining SUSY GUTs and Inflation with Cosmology
In the framework of Supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (SUSY GUTs), the universe undergoes a cascade of symmetry breakings, during which topological defects can be formed. We address the question of the probability of cosmic string formation after a phase of hybrid inflation within a large number of models of SUSY GUTs in agreement with particle and cosmological data. We show that cosmic str...

متن کاملInflationary Cosmology: Theory and Phenomenology
This article gives a brief overview of some of the theory behind the inflationary cosmology, and discusses prospects for constraining inflation using observations. Particular care is given to the question of falsifiability of inflation or of subsets of inflationary models.‡
متن کاملUnified gauge models and one - loop quantum cosmology
This paper studies the normalizability criterion for the one-loop wave function of the universe in a de Sitter background, when various unified gauge models are considered. It turns out that, in the absence of interaction between inflaton field and other matter fields, the supersymmetric version of such unified models is preferred. By contrast, the interaction of inflaton and matter fields, joi...
