Transient de Sitter and Quasi de Sitter States in SO(32) and E_8 x E_8 Heterotic String Theories
Keshav Dasgupta, Suddhasattwa Brahma, Bohdan Kulinich +3
One of the long-standing puzzles in string theory has been on the existence of a four-dimensional de Sitter and quasi de Sitter configurations, the latter being defined with a temp…

de Sitter Excited State in Heterotic E_8 x E_8 Theory
Suddhasattwa Brahma, Keshav Dasgupta, Bohdan Kulinich +3
We devise a novel duality sequence to study late-time cosmology in the heterotic E_8 x E_8 setup of Horava and Witten with dynamical walls that are moving towards each other. Surpr…

Glauber-Sudarshan States, Wave Functional of the Universe and the Wheeler-De Witt equation
Suddhasattwa Brahma, Keshav Dasgupta, Fangyi Guo +1
One of the pertinent question in the analysis of de Sitter as an excited state is what happens to the Glauber-Sudarshan states that are off-shell, i.e. the states that do not satis…
