First order phase transitions in cosmology

We review the observable effects produced by phase transitions occurring along with inflation. Firstly, we present a model which is able to generate a locally open universe as the result of a very early phase transition peaked at a precise epoch. Then, we show how the same model can produce primordi...

Zusammenfassung:We review the observable effects produced by phase transitions occurring along with inflation. Firstly, we present a model which is able to generate a locally open universe as the result of a very early phase transition peaked at a precise epoch. Then, we show how the same model can produce primordial voids on the large scale structure, able to imprint in an observable way the microwave background. Finally, we speculate on the possibility of merging the two mechanisms in the same process.
