Predictive Landscapes and New Physics at a TeV
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Savas Dimopoulos, Shamit Kachru
We propose that the Standard Model is coupled to a sector with an enormous landscape of vacua, where only the dimensionful parameters--the vacuum energy and Higgs masses--are finel…
New Old Inflation
Gia Dvali, Shamit Kachru
We propose a new class of inflationary solutions to the standard cosmological problems (horizon, flatness, monopole,...), based on a modification of old inflation. These models do…
String Duality and Novel Theories without Gravity
Shamit Kachru
We describe some of the novel 6d quantum field theories which have been discovered in studies of string duality. The role these theories (and their 4d descendants) may play in alle…
Duality and String Dynamics
Shamit Kachru
We review some examples of heterotic/type II string duality which shed light on the infrared dynamics of string compactifications with N=2 and N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions.
