Abstract

We consider domain walls in the Z3Z_3 symmetric NMSSM. The spontaneous Z3Z_3 discrete symmetry breaking produces domain walls, and the stable domain walls are problematic. Thus, we assume the Z3Z_3 symmetry is slightly but explicitly broken and the domain walls decay. Such a decay causes a large late-time entropy production. We study its cosmological implications on unwanted relics such as moduli, gravitino, LSP and axion.
