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…
Nonrenormalization of Flux Superpotentials in String Theory
C. P. Burgess, C. Escoda, F. Quevedo
Recent progress in understanding modulus stabilization in string theory relies on the existence of a non-renormalization theorem for the 4D compactifications of Type IIB supergravi…
Racetrack Inflation
J. J. Blanco-Pillado, C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline +5
We develop a model of eternal topological inflation using a racetrack potential within the context of type IIB string theory with KKLT volume stabilization. The inflaton field is t…
Saltatory de Sitter String Vacua
C. Escoda, M. Gomez-Reino, F. Quevedo
We extend a recent scenario of Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi to fix the string moduli fields by using a combination of fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials, leading to…
A Systematic Spectroscopic X-Ray Study of Stellar Coronae with XMM-Newton: Early Results
M. Guedel, M. Audard, K. W. Smith +10
We have been conducting a comprehensive survey of stellar coronae with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometers during the commissioning, calibration, verification, and guar…
