Starobinsky Inflation in the Swampland
Dieter Lust, Joaquin Masias, Benjamin Muntz +1
We argue that the Starobinsky model of inflation, realised via an term in the Lagrangian, can originate from quantum effects due to a tower of light species. By means of two…
Primordial black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures
Eleni Bagui, Sebastien Clesse, Valerio De Luca +17
In the recent years, primordial black holes (PBHs) have emerged as one of the most interesting and hotly debated topics in cosmology. Among other possibilities, PBHs could explain…
Cosmic Acceleration and Turns in the Swampland
Julian Freigang, Dieter Lust, Guo-En Nian +1
We argue that field trajectories, which lead to cosmic acceleration and feature rapid turns near the boundary of the moduli space, are in the Swampland. We obtain this result by as…
Early Dark Energy in Type IIB String Theory
Michele Cicoli, Matteo Licheri, Ratul Mahanta +3
Early Dark Energy (EDE) is a promising model to resolve the Hubble Tension, that, informed by Cosmic Microwave Background data, features a generalization of the potential energy us…
On the correspondence between black holes, domain walls and fluxes
Niccolò Cribiori, Alessandra Gnecchi, Dieter Lust +1
We revisit and extend the correspondence between black holes, domain walls and fluxes in type IIA compactifications. We argue that these three systems can be described by the same…
The Scale of Supersymmetry Breaking and the Dark Dimension
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ignatios Antoniadis, Niccolò Cribiori +2
We argue for a relation between the supersymmetry breaking scale and the measured value of the dark energy density . We derive it by combining two quantum gravity consistency sw…
