O'KKLT
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
We propose to combine the quantum corrected O'Raifeartaigh model, which has a dS minimum near the origin of the moduli space, with the KKLT model with an AdS minimum. The combined…
Sinks in the Landscape, Boltzmann Brains, and the Cosmological Constant Problem
Andrei Linde
This paper extends the recent investigation of the string theory landscape in hep-th/0605266, where it was found that the decay rate of dS vacua to a collapsing space with a negati…
On the new string theory inspired mechanism of generation of cosmological perturbations
Nemanja Kaloper, Lev Kofman, Andrei Linde +1
Recently a non-inflationary mechanism of generation of scale-free cosmological perturbations of metric was proposed by Brandenberger, Nayeri, and Vafa in the context of the string…
Domain walls, near-BPS bubbles, and probabilities in the landscape
Anna Ceresole, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Alexander Giryavets +2
We develop a theory of static BPS domain walls in stringy landscape and present a large family of BPS walls interpolating between different supersymmetric vacua. Examples include K…
Inflating in a Better Racetrack
J. J. Blanco-Pillado, C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline +5
We present a new version of our racetrack inflation scenario which, unlike our original proposal, is based on an explicit compactification of type IIB string theory: the Calabi-Yau…
Strings, Black Holes, and Quantum Information
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde
We find multiple relations between extremal black holes in string theory and 2- and 3-qubit systems in quantum information theory. We show that the entropy of the axion-dilaton ext…
