Analytic continuations of de Sitter thick domain wall solutions
Abstract
We perform some analytic continuations of the de Sitter thick domain wall solutions obtained in our previous paper hep-th/0201130 in the system of gravity and a scalar field with an axion-like potential. The obtained new solutions represent anti-de Sitter thick domain walls and cosmology. The anti-de Sitter domain wall solutions are periodic, and correspondingly the cosmological solutions represent cyclic universes. We parameterize the axion-like scalar field potential and determine the parameter regions of each type of solutions.
