On Brane Back-Reaction and de Sitter Solutions in Higher-Dimensional Supergravity
C. P. Burgess, Anshuman Maharana, L. van Nierop +2
We argue that the problem of finding lower-dimensional de Sitter solutions to the classical field equations of higher-dimensional supergravity necessarily requires understanding th…
Challenges for String Cosmology
C. P. Burgess, Liam McAllister
We critically assess the twin prospects of describing the observed universe in string theory, and using cosmological experiments to probe string theory. For the purposes of this sh…
Sculpting the Extra Dimensions: Inflation from Codimension-2 Brane Back-reaction
Leo van Nierop, C. P. Burgess
We construct an inflationary model in 6D supergravity that is based on explicit time-dependent solutions to the full higher-dimensional field equations, back-reacting to the presen…
Holographic Matter : Deconfined String at Criticality
Sung-Sik Lee
We derive a holographic dual for a gauged matrix model in general dimensions from a first-principle construction. The dual theory is shown to be a closed string field theory which…
Technically Natural Cosmological Constant From Supersymmetric 6D Brane Backreaction
C. P. Burgess, Leo van Nierop
We provide an explicit example of a higher-dimensional model describing a non-supersymmetric spectrum of 4D particles of mass M, whose 4D geometry -- {\em including loop effects} -…
Anisotropic Modulus Stabilisation: Strings at LHC Scales with Micron-sized Extra Dimensions
M. Cicoli, C. P. Burgess, F. Quevedo
We construct flux-stabilised IIB compactifications whose extra dimensions (EDs) have very different sizes, and use these to describe several vacua with a TeV string scale. Because…
