Fitting string inflation to real cosmological data: the Fibre Inflation case
arXiv:2004.01210 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.102.043521
Abstract
In this paper we show how the string landscape can be constrained using observational data. We illustrate this idea by focusing on Fibre Inflation which is a promising class of string inflationary models in type IIB flux compactifications. We determine the values of the microscopic flux-dependent parameters which yield the best fit to the most recent cosmological datasets.
