Towards Inflation in String Theory
Shamit Kachru, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +3
We investigate the embedding of brane inflation into stable compactifications of string theory. At first sight a warped compactification geometry seems to produce a naturally flat…
de Sitter Vacua in String Theory
Shamit Kachru, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1
We outline the construction of metastable de Sitter vacua of type IIB string theory. Our starting point is highly warped IIB compactifications with nontrivial NS and RR three-form…
Compactification with Flux on K3 and Tori
Prasanta K. Tripathy, Sandip P. Trivedi
We study compactifications of Type IIB string theory on a K3 \times T^2/Z_2 orientifold in the presence of RR and NS flux. We find the most general supersymmetry preserving, Poinca…
