The Refined Swampland Distance Conjecture in Calabi-Yau Moduli Spaces
Ralph Blumenhagen, Daniel Klaewer, Lorenz Schlechter +1
The Swampland Distance Conjecture claims that effective theories derived from a consistent theory of quantum gravity only have a finite range of validity. This will imply drastic c…
Challenges for Moduli Stabilization and String Cosmology near the Conifold
Ralph Blumenhagen, Daniela Herschmann, Florian Wolf
This brief article reviews a recently proposed scenario of moduli stabilization constructed in the vicinity of a conifold locus in the complex structure moduli space. We discuss ty…
The Swampland Conjecture and F-term Axion Monodromy Inflation
Ralph Blumenhagen, Irene Valenzuela, Florian Wolf
We continue the investigation of F-term axion monodromy inflation in string theory, while seriously taking the issue of moduli stabilization into account. For a number of closed an…
String Moduli Stabilization at the Conifold
Ralph Blumenhagen, Daniela Herschmann, Florian Wolf
We study moduli stabilization for type IIB orientifolds compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds in the region close to conifold singularities in the complex structure moduli space. T…
A Flux-Scaling Scenario for High-Scale Moduli Stabilization in String Theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Anamaria Font, Michael Fuchs +4
Tree-level moduli stabilization via geometric and non-geometric fluxes in type IIB orientifolds on Calabi-Yau manifolds is investigated. The focus is on stable non-supersymmetric m…
