Effective Field Theories and Matching for Codimension-2 Branes
C. P. Burgess, D. Hoover, C. de Rham +1
It is generic for the bulk fields sourced by branes having codimension two and higher to diverge at the brane position, much as does the Coulomb potential at the position of its so…
The Fate of Unstable Gauge Flux Compactifications
C. P. Burgess, S. L. Parameswaran, I. Zavala
Fluxes are widely used to stabilise extra dimensions, but if they arise within a non-abelian gauge sector they are often unstable. We seek the fate of this instability, focussing o…
Axionic D3-D7 Inflation
C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline, M. Postma
We study the motion of a D3 brane moving within a Type IIB string vacuum compactified to 4D on K3 x T_2/Z_2 in the presence of D7 and O7 planes. We work within the effective 4D sup…
An Introduction to Cascading Gravity and Degravitation
Claudia de Rham
Cascading gravity is an explicit realization of the idea of degravitation, where gravity behaves as a high-pass filter. This could explain why a large cosmological constant does no…
A Non-Fermi Liquid from a Charged Black Hole; A Critical Fermi Ball
Sung-Sik Lee
Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we calculate a fermionic spectral function in a 2+1 dimensional non-relativistic quantum field theory which is dual to a gravitational theory in t…
Fibre Inflation: Observable Gravity Waves from IIB String Compactifications
M. Cicoli, C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo
We introduce a simple string model of inflation, in which the inflaton field can take trans-Planckian values while driving a period of slow-roll inflation. This leads naturally to…
