"Semi-Realistic" F-term Inflation Model Building in Supergravity
Ben Kain
We describe methods for building "semi-realistic" models of F-term inflation. By semi-realistic we mean that they are built in, and obey the requirements of, "semi-realistic" parti…

Cosmological Consequences of String Axions
Ben Kain
Axion fluctuations generated during inflation lead to isocurvature and non-Gaussian temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Following a previous anal…

Is the Universal String Axion the QCD Axion?
Mary K. Gaillard, Ben Kain
We consider the class of effective supergravity theories from the weakly coupled heterotic string in which local supersymmetry is broken by gaugino condensation in a hidden sector,…
