Warped Reheating in Multi-Throat Brane Inflation
Diego Chialva, Gary Shiu, Bret Underwood
We investigate in some quantitative details the viability of reheating in multi-throat brane inflationary scenarios by estimating and comparing the time scales for the various proc…
Extracting New Physics from the CMB
B. Greene, K. Schalm, G. Shiu +1
We review how initial state effects generically yield an oscillatory component in the primordial power spectrum of inflationary density perturbations. These oscillatory corrections…
Chiral D-brane Models with Frozen Open String Moduli
Ralph Blumenhagen, Mirjam Cvetic, Fernando Marchesano +1
Most intersecting D-brane vacua in the literature contain additional massless adjoint fields in their low energy spectrum. The existence of these additional fields make it difficul…
Toward Realistic Intersecting D-Brane Models
Ralph Blumenhagen, Mirjam Cvetic, Paul Langacker +1
We provide a pedagogical introduction to a recently studied class of phenomenologically interesting string models, known as Intersecting D-Brane Models. The gauge fields of the Sta…
