Towards Realistic String Vacua From Branes At Singularities
Joseph P. Conlon, Anshuman Maharana, Fernando Quevedo
We report on progress towards constructing string models incorporating both realistic D-brane matter content and moduli stabilisation with dynamical low-scale supersymmetry breakin…
Wave Functions and Yukawa Couplings in Local String Compactifications
Joseph P. Conlon, Anshuman Maharana, Fernando Quevedo
We consider local models of magnetised D7 branes in IIB string compactifications, focussing on cases where an explicit metric can be written for the local 4-cycle. The presence of…
Volume Modulus Inflation and the Gravitino Mass Problem
Joseph P. Conlon, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1
The Hubble constant during the last stages of inflation in a broad class of models based on the KKLT mechanism should be smaller than the gravitino mass, H <~ m_{3/2}. We point out…
Continuous Global Symmetries and Hyperweak Interactions in String Compactifications
C. P. Burgess, J. P. Conlon, L-Y. Hung +3
We revisit general arguments for the absence of exact continuous global symmetries in string compactifications and extend them to D-brane models. We elucidate the various ways appr…
