String Cosmology: A Review
Liam McAllister, Eva Silverstein
We give an overview of the status of string cosmology. We explain the motivation for the subject, outline the main problems, and assess some of the proposed solutions. Our focus is…
Towards an Explicit Model of D-brane Inflation
Daniel Baumann, Anatoly Dymarsky, Igor R. Klebanov +1
We present a detailed analysis of an explicit model of warped D-brane inflation, incorporating the effects of moduli stabilization. We consider the potential for D3-brane motion in…
A Delicate Universe
Daniel Baumann, Anatoly Dymarsky, Igor R. Klebanov +2
We investigate whether explicit models of warped D-brane inflation are possible in string compactifications. To this end, we study the potential for D3-brane motion in a warped con…
Sequestering in String Theory
Shamit Kachru, Liam McAllister, Raman Sundrum
We study sequestering, a prerequisite for flavor-blind supersymmetry breaking in several high-scale mediation mechanisms, in compactifications of type IIB string theory. We find th…
D3-brane Vacua in Stabilized Compactifications
Oliver DeWolfe, Liam McAllister, Gary Shiu +1
D3-branes feel no force in no-scale flux compactifications of type IIB string theory, but the nonperturbative effects required to stabilize the Kahler moduli break the no-scale str…
