Long-lived SEC violation via DM/DE couplings
Gary Shiu, Flavio Tonioni, Hung V. Tran
We discuss a cosmological scenario where an effective violation of the strong energy condition (SEC) is realized through a coupling between SEC-fulfilling dark matter (DM) and dark…

Connecting flux vacua through scalar field excursions
Gary Shiu, Flavio Tonioni, Vincent Van Hemelryck +1
We show how flux vacua that differ from each other in flux quanta can be seen as different vacua in a single scalar potential of an enlarged field space, which resolves the separat…
