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…
Racetrack Inflation and Cosmic Strings
Philippe Brax, Carsten van de Bruck, Anne-Christine Davis +3
We consider the coupling of racetrack inflation to matter fields as realised in the D3/D7 brane system. In particular, we investigate the possibility of cosmic string formation in…
Successfully combining SUGRA hybrid inflation and moduli stabilisation
Stephen C. Davis, M. Postma
Inflation and moduli stabilisation mechanisms work well independently, and many string-motivated supergravity models have been proposed for them. However a complete theory will con…
