Higgs-otic Inflation and Moduli Stabilization
Sjoerd Bielleman, Luis E. Ibanez, Francisco G. Pedro +2
We study closed-string moduli stabilization in Higgs-otic inflation in Type IIB orientifold backgrounds with fluxes. In this setup large-field inflation is driven by the vacuum ene…
The DBI Action, Higher-derivative Supergravity, and Flattening Inflaton Potentials
Sjoerd Bielleman, Luis E. Ibanez, Francisco G. Pedro +2
In string theory compactifications it is common to find an effective Lagrangian for the scalar fields with a non-canonical kinetic term. We study the effective action of the scalar…
Minkowski 3-forms, Flux String Vacua, Axion Stability and Naturalness
Sjoerd Bielleman, Luis E. Ibanez, Irene Valenzuela
We discuss the role of Minkowski 3-forms in flux string vacua. In these vacua all internal closed string fluxes are in one to one correspondence with quantized Minkowski 4-forms. B…
Multifield Dynamics in Higgs-otic Inflation
S. Bielleman, L. E. Ibanez, F. G. Pedro +1
In Higgs-otic inflation a complex neutral scalar combination of the and MSSM Higgs fields plays the role of inflaton in a chaotic fashion. The potential is protected fr…
