1104.3241 (V. K. Oikonomou)

De Sitter Cosmic Strings and Supersymmetry    [PDF]

V. K. Oikonomou
We study massive spinor fields in the geometry of a straight cosmic string in a de Sitter background. We find a hidden N=2 supersymmetry in the fermionic solutions of the equations of motion. We connect the zero mode solutions to the heat-kernel regularized Witten index of the supersymmetric algebra.
