Phenomenology of superheavy decaying dark matter from string theory
Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Chiara Arina, Marco Chianese +4
We study the phenomenology of superheavy decaying dark matter with mass around GeV which can arise in the low-energy limit of string compactifications. Generic features o…
Higher Derivative Corrections to String Inflation
Michele Cicoli, Matteo Licheri, Pellegrino Piantadosi +2
We quantitatively estimate the leading higher derivative corrections to supergravity derived from IIB string compactifications and study how they may affect modul…
Sequestered String Models imply Split Supersymmetry
Michele Cicoli, Alessandro Cotellucci, Hajime Otsuka
Sequestering is a promising mechanism in 4D string models to reconcile high-scale inflation with low-energy supersymmetry. In this scenario the MSSM lives on branes at singularitie…
Starobinsky Inflation from String Theory?
Max Brinkmann, Michele Cicoli, Pietro Zito
Starobinsky inflation is currently one of the best models concerning agreement with cosmological data. Despite this observational success, it is still lacking a robust embedding in…
Early Dark Energy in Type IIB String Theory
Michele Cicoli, Matteo Licheri, Ratul Mahanta +3
Early Dark Energy (EDE) is a promising model to resolve the Hubble Tension, that, informed by Cosmic Microwave Background data, features a generalization of the potential energy us…
String Cosmology: from the Early Universe to Today
Michele Cicoli, Joseph P. Conlon, Anshuman Maharana +3
We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string compact…
