Decoupling and de Sitter Vacua in Approximate No-Scale Supergravities
M. C. David Marsh, Bert Vercnocke, Timm Wrase
We study supergravity with chiral superfields in which one of the fields has a Kähler potential of exact no-scale type. Such systems admit de Sitter (dS) solutio…
Analytic Classes of Metastable de Sitter Vacua
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Bert Vercnocke +1
In this paper, we give a systematic procedure for building locally stable dS vacua in supergravity models motivated by string theory. We assume that one of the supe…
Natural Inflation in Supergravity and Beyond
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Bert Vercnocke
Supergravity models of natural inflation and its generalizations are presented. These models are special examples of the class of supergravity models proposed in arXiv:1008.3375 an…
Non-supersymmetric Microstates of the MSW System
Souvik Banerjee, Borun D. Chowdhury, Bert Vercnocke +1
We present an analysis parallel to that of Giusto, Ross, and Saxena (arXiv:0708.3845) and construct a discrete family of non-supersymmetric microstate geometries of the Maldacena-S…
Is Imaginary Starobinsky Model Real?
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Bert Vercnocke +1
We investigate the recently proposed possibility of chaotic inflation with respect to the imaginary part of the field T in a supersymmetric embedding of the Starobinsky model. We s…
