| dc.description | We confront the recent proposal of Emerging Brane Inflation with WMAP3+SDSS, finding a scalar spectral index of $n_s=0.9659^{+0.0049}_{-0.0052}$ in excellent agreement with observations. The proposal incorporates a preceding phase of isotropic, non accelerated expansion in all dimensions, providing suitable initial conditions for inflation. Additional observational constraints on the parameters of the model provide an estimate of the string scale. A graceful exit to inflation and stabilization of extra dimensions is achieved via a string gas. The resulting pre-heating phase shows some novel features due to a redshifting potential, comparable to effects due to the expansion of the universe itself. However, the model at hand suffers from either a potential over-production of relics after inflation or insufficient stabilization at late times. | |
