Moduli evolution in the presence of thermal corrections

T. Barreiro, B. de Carlos, E. J. Copeland +1

We study the effect of thermal corrections on the evolution of moduli in effective Supergravity models. This is motivated by previous results in the literature suggesting that thes…

Inflation in uplifted Supergravities

B. de Carlos, J. A. Casas, A. Guarino +2

We present a model of slow-roll inflation in the context of effective Supergravities arising from string theories. The uplifting of the potential (to generate dS or Minkowski vacua…

Ghost conditions for Gauss-Bonnet cosmologies

Gianluca Calcagni, Beatriz de Carlos, Antonio De Felice

We investigate the stability against inhomogeneous perturbations and the appearance of ghost modes in Gauss-Bonnet gravitational theories with a non-minimally coupled scalar field,…

deSitter vacua from uplifting D-terms in effective supergravities from realistic strings

A. Achucarro, B. de Carlos, J. A. Casas +1

We study the possibility of using the D-term associated to an anomalous U(1) for the uplifting of AdS vacua (to dS or Minkowski vacua) in effective supergravities arising from stri…

Non-perturbative vacua for M-theory on G2 manifolds

Beatriz de Carlos, Andre Lukas, Stephen Morris

We study moduli stabilization in the context of M-theory on compact manifolds with G2 holonomy, using superpotentials from flux and membrane instantons, and recent results for the…

Moving Five-Branes and Membrane Instantons in Low Energy Heterotic M-Theory

B. de Carlos, J. Roberts, Y. Schmohe

We study cosmological solutions in the context of 4-dimensional low energy Heterotic M-theory with moving bulk branes. In particular we present non-trivial, analytic axion solution…
