String theory, gravity and experiment

Thibault Damour, Marc Lilley

The aim of these lectures is to give an introduction to several topics which lie at the intersection of string theory, gravity theory and gravity phenomenology. One successively re…

DBI-essence

Jerome Martin, Masahide Yamaguchi

Models where the dark energy is a scalar field with a non-standard Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) kinetic term are investigated. Scaling solutions are studied and proven to be attractors.…

Non-Supersymmetric Seiberg Duality, Orientifold QCD and Non-Critical Strings

Adi Armoni, Dan Israel, Gregory Moraitis +1

We propose an electric-magnetic duality and conjecture an exact conformal window for a class of non-supersymmetric U(N_c) gauge theories with fermions in the (anti)symmetric repres…

Perturbations in generalized multi-field inflation

David Langlois, Sébastien Renaux-Petel

We study the linear perturbations of multi-field inflationary models governed by a Lagrangian which is a general function of the scalar fields and of a global kinetic term combinin…

Flux, Gaugino Condensation and Anti-Branes in Heterotic M-theory

James Gray, André Lukas, Burt Ovrut

We present the potential energy due to flux and gaugino condensation in heterotic M-theory compactifications with anti-branes in the vacuum. For reasons which we explain in detail,…

Brane inflation and the WMAP data: a Bayesian analysis

Larissa Lorenz, Jerome Martin, Christophe Ringeval

The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) constraints on string inspired ''brane inflation'' are investigated. Here, the inflaton field is interpreted as the distance between…
