How false vacuum synthesis of a universe sets initial conditions which permit the onset of variations of a nucleation rate per Hubble volume per Hubble time

ORAL

Abstract

Using Bogomil'nyi inequality and the vanishing of topological charge at the onset of nucleation of a new universe permits a simpler, more direct insight into how topological defects (kinks and anti kinks) contribute to initial conditions at the onset of inflationary cosmology . Currently, there are few bridges between initial conditions for cosmological inflation and the nucleation of a new universe. This presentation shows how this can be done while still employing Venezianos prescription for forming a link between quanta of length, the magnitude of a dilaton field $\phi$ and forces gravitational and gauge alike.
