Abstract:
Motivated by claims of broken rotational invariance in the WMAP data, a number of models have appeared in the literature realizing this effect through vector field(s) with a nonvanishing spatial vacuum expectation value. We discuss why many such models have ghost instabilities.
Keywords:
broken rotational invariance, ghost instability.
