The formation of a cold Jupiter (CJ) is expected to quench the influx ofpebbles and the migration of cores interior to its orbit, thus limiting theefficiency of rocky planet formation either by pebble accretion and/or orbitalmigration. Observations, however, show that the presence of outer CJs ( >1 auand >0.3 Jupiter masses) correlates with the presence of inner Super Earths (at<1 au). This observation may simply be a result of an enhanced initialreservoir of solids in the nebula required to form a CJ or ayet-to-be-determined mechanism assisted by the presence of the CJ. In thiswork, we focus on the latter alternative and study the orbital transport ofplanetesimals interior to a CJ subject to the gravity and drag from aviscously-evolving gaseous disk. We find that a secular resonance sweepinginwards through the disk gradually transports rings of planetesimals when theirdrag-assisted orbital decay is faster than the speed of the resonance scanning.This snowplow-like process leads to large concentration (boosted by a factor of~10-100) of size-segregated planetesimal rings with aligned apsidal lines,making their expected collisions less destructive due to their reduced velocitydispersion. This process is efficient for a wide range of alpha-disk models andJovian masses, peaking for ~1-5 Jupiter masses, typical of observed CJs inradial velocity surveys. Overall, our work highlights the major role that thedisk's gravity may have on the orbital redistribution of planetesimals,depicting a novel avenue by which CJs may enhance the formation of innerplanetary systems, including super-Earths and perhaps even warm and hotJupiters.
