A note on obstinate tachyons in classical dS solutions
Ulf H. Danielsson, Gary Shiu, Thomas Van Riet +1
The stabilisation of the dilaton and volume in tree-level flux compactifications leads to model independent and thus very powerful existence and stability criteria for dS solutions…
On quantum corrected Kähler potentials in F-theory
Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Hirotaka Hayashi, Raffaele Savelli +1
We work out the exact in string coupling and perturbatively exact in α' result for the vector multiplet moduli Kähler potential in a specific N=2 compactification of F-theory. The…
Consistency condition for inflation from (broken) conformal symmetry
Koenraad Schalm, Gary Shiu, Ted van der Aalst
We investigate the symmetry constraints on the bispectrum, i.e. the three-point correlation function of primordial density fluctuations, in slow-roll inflation. It follows from the…
Gravity waves and non-Gaussian features from particle production in a sector gravitationally coupled to the inflaton
Neil Barnaby, Jordan Moxon, Ryo Namba +3
We study the possibility that particle production during inflation could source observable gravity waves on scales relevant for Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. A crucial c…
Soft branes in supersymmetry-breaking backgrounds
Paul McGuirk, Gary Shiu, Fang Ye
We revisit the analysis of effective field theories resulting from non-supersymmetric perturbations to supersymmetric flux compactifications of the type-IIB superstring with an eye…
