Thermal inflation is an attractive solution to the cosmological moduli problem. However, domain walls may be formed after thermal inflation and some mechanisms are needed to eliminate the domain wall before it dominates the Universe. We…

We calculate the interaction between two magnetic domain walls during their current-induced motion. This interaction produces a separation-dependent resistance and also a differential velocity, causing domains in motion to experience an…
