De Sitter Uplift with Dynamical Susy Breaking
Ander Retolaza, Angel Uranga
We propose the use of D-brane realizations of Dynamical Supersymmetry Breaking (DSB) gauge sectors as sources of uplift in compactifications with moduli stabilization onto de Sitte…
D-brane Instantons as Gauge Instantons in Orientifolds of Chiral Quiver Theories
Sebastian Franco, Ander Retolaza, Angel Uranga
Systems of D3-branes at orientifold singularities can receive non-perturbative D-brane instanton corrections, inducing field theory operators in the 4d effective theory. In certain…
Bifid Throats for Axion Monodromy Inflation
Ander Retolaza, Angel M. Uranga, Alexander Westphal
We construct a simple explicit local geometry providing a `bifid throat' for 5-brane axion monodromy. A bifid throat is a throat that splits into two daughter throats in the IR, co…
