Two-field constant roll inflation
Andrei Micu
Starting from the idea of realising constant roll inflation in string theory we develop the constant roll formalism for two scalar fields. We derive the two-field potential which i…
M-theory Compactifications to Three Dimensions with M2-brane Potentials
Cezar Condeescu, Andrei Micu, Eran Palti
We study a class of compactifications of M-theory to three dimensions that preserve N=2 supersymmetry and which have the defining feature that a probe space-time filling M2 brane f…
F-theory compactifications on manifolds with SU(3) structure
Andrei Micu
In this paper we derive part of the low energy action corresponding to F-theory compactifications on specific eight manifolds with SU(3) structure. The setup we use can actually be…
Heterotic type IIA duality with fluxes - towards the complete story
Andrei Micu
In this paper we study the heterotic type IIA duality when fluxes are turned on. We show that many of the known fluxes are dual to each other and claim that certain fluxes on the h…
Moduli Stabilisation in Heterotic Models with Standard Embedding
Andrei Micu
In this note we analyse the issue of moduli stabilisation in 4d models obtained from heterotic string compactifications on manifolds with SU(3) structure with standard embedding. I…
Heterotic compactifications on SU(2)-structure backgrounds
Jan Louis, Danny Martinez-Pedrera, Andrei Micu
In this paper we study the reduction of heterotic string theory on SU(2)-structure backgrounds. We compute the bosonic low-energy gauged N=2 supergravity specified by the Killing v…
