Xi Dong, Bart Horn, Eva Silverstein +1
We show how backreaction of the inflaton potential energy on heavy scalar fields can flatten the inflationary potential, as the heavy fields adjust to their most energetically favo…

Micromanaging de Sitter holography
Xi Dong, Bart Horn, Eva Silverstein +1
We develop tools to engineer de Sitter vacua with semi-holographic duals, using elliptic fibrations and orientifolds to uplift Freund-Rubin compactifications with CFT duals. The du…
