Avoided deconfinement in Randall-Sundrum models

Abstract We study first order phase transitions in Randall-Sundrum models in the early universe dual to confinement in large-N gauge theories. The transition rate to the confined phase is suppressed by a factor exp(− N 2), and may not complete for N » 1, instead leading to an eternally inflating pha...
