Swampland Distance Conjecture, Inflation and -attractors
Marco Scalisi, Irene Valenzuela
The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) constraints the dynamics emerging at infinite distances in field space of any effective field theory consistent with quantum gravity. It pro…
4d models of dS uplift in KKLT
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Evan McDonough +1
It was shown in arXiv:1808.09428 that the modified 4d version of the KKLT model proposed in arXiv:1707.08678 is inconsistent for large values of the parameter advocated in arXi…
de Sitter Vacua with a Nilpotent Superfield
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Evan McDonough +1
We study the arguments given in [1] which suggest that the uplifting procedure in the KKLT construction is not valid. First we show that the modification of the SUSY breaking secto…
Pole N-flation
Mafalda Dias, Jonathan Frazer, Ander Retolaza +2
A second order pole in the scalar kinetic term can lead to a class of inflation models with universal predictions referred to as pole inflation or -attractors. While this kineti…
