An Effect of ${\alpha }^{\prime }$ Corrections on Racetrack Inflation

Abstract

We study the effects of ${\alpha }^{\prime }$ corrections to the Kähler potential on volume stabilisation and racetrack inflation. In a region where classical supergravity analysis is justified, stringy corrections can nevertheless be relevant for correctly analyzing moduli stabilisation and the onset of inflation.
