String Effective Actions and Cosmological Stability of Scalar Potentials
arXiv:hep-th/9204079 · doi:10.1016/0550-3213(92)90058-J
Abstract
The cosmology of the string effective action, including one loop string threshold corrections, is analyzed for static compactifications. The stability of the minima of a general supersymmetry breaking potential is studied in the presence of radiation. In particular, it is shown that the radiation bath makes the minima with negative cosmological constant unstable.
