Chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with uplift
Michele Cicoli, Antonella Grassi, Osmin Lacombe +1
We carefully analyse the challenges posed by the construction of type IIB chiral global embeddings of Fibre Inflation with uplift to a de Sitter vacuum. We pre…
Back to the origins of brane-antibrane inflation
Michele Cicoli, Christopher Hughes, Ahmed Rakin Kamal +4
We study a new framework for brane-antibrane inflation where moduli stabilisation relies purely on perturbative corrections to the effective action. This guarantees that the model…
From Inflation to Quintessence: a History of the Universe in String Theory
Michele Cicoli, Francesc Cunillera, Antonio Padilla +1
We present a type IIB 4D string model with stabilised moduli which is able to describe the history of the universe from inflation to quintessence. The underlying Calabi-Yau volume…
Loop Blow-up Inflation
Sukŗti Bansal, Luca Brunelli, Michele Cicoli +2
We present a new model of string inflation driven by a blow-up Kähler modulus of type IIb compactifications with a potential generated by string loops. Slow-roll is naturally reali…
