Warped Wilson Line DBI Inflation
A. Avgoustidis, I. Zavala
We propose a novel inflationary scenario in string theory in which the inflaton field is a 'Wilson line' degree of freedom in the worldvolume of a probe Dp-brane, in a warped flux…

Cosmic String Dynamics and Evolution in Warped Spacetime
A. Avgoustidis
We study the dynamics and evolution of Nambu-Goto strings in a warped spacetime, where the warp factor is a function of the internal coordinates giving rise to a `throat' region. T…

Wilson Line Inflation
A. Avgoustidis, D. Cremades, F. Quevedo
We present a general set-up for inflation in string theory where the inflaton field corresponds to Wilson lines in compact space in the presence of magnetic fluxes. T-dualities and…
