Moduli evolution in the presence of flux compactifications
T. Barreiro, B. de Carlos, E. J. Copeland +1
We study the cosmological evolution of the volume moduli in a class of recently proposed Inflationary Universe models arising out of Type IIB string theory, where a number of the m…
Moduli Evolution in Heterotic Scenarios
T. Barreiro, B. de Carlos, N. J. Nunes
We discuss several aspects of the cosmological evolution of moduli fields in heterotic string/M-theory scenarios. In particular we study the equations of motion of both the dilaton…
Anomalous U(1), gaugino condensation and supergravity
T. Barreiro, B. de Carlos, J. A. Casas +1
The interplay between gaugino condensation and an anomalous Fayet-Iliopoulos term in string theories is not trivial and has important consequences concerning the size and type of t…
Some aspects of thermal inflation: the finite temperature potential and topological defects
Tiago Barreiro, E. J. Copeland, David H. Lyth +1
Currently favoured extensions of the Standard Model typically contain `flaton fields' defined as fields with large vacuum expectation values (vevs) and almost flat potentials. If a…
