The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We point out that in the context of ``two-metric'' theories of gravity there is the possibility that cosmic defects will produce a spectrum of primordial adiabatic density perturbations. This will happen when the speed characterising the defect-producing scalar field is much larger than the speed characterising gravity and all standard model particles. This model will exactly mimic the standard predictions of inflationary models, with the exception of a small non-Gaussian signal which could be detected by future experiments. We briefly discuss defect evolution in these scenarios and analyze their cosmological consequences.
