Inflation in string theory: a graceful exit to the real world
Michele Cicoli, Anupam Mazumdar
The most important criteria for a successful inflation are to explain the observed temperature anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation, and exiting inflation in a v…
LARGE Volume String Compactifications at Finite Temperature
Lilia Anguelova, Vincenzo Calo, Michele Cicoli
We present a detailed study of the finite-temperature behaviour of the LARGE Volume type IIB flux compactifications. We show that certain moduli can thermalise at high temperatures…
Systematics of String Loop Corrections in Type IIB Calabi-Yau Flux Compactifications
Michele Cicoli, Joseph P. Conlon, Fernando Quevedo
We study the behaviour of the string loop corrections to the N=1 4D supergravity Kaehler potential that occur in flux compactifications of IIB string theory on general Calabi-Yau t…
