Chiral Global Embedding of Fibre Inflation Models
Michele Cicoli, David Ciupke, Victor A. Diaz +3
We construct explicit examples of fibre inflation models which are globally embedded in type IIB orientifolds with chiral matter on D7-branes and full closed string moduli stabilis…
Oscillons from String Moduli
Stefan Antusch, Francesco Cefala, Sven Krippendorf +3
A generic feature of string compactifications is the presence of many scalar fields, called moduli. Moduli are usually displaced from their post-inflationary minimum during inflati…
Projected bounds on ALPs from Athena
Joseph P. Conlon, Francesca Day, Nicholas Jennings +2
Galaxy clusters represent excellent laboratories to search for Axion-Like Particles (ALPs). They contain magnetic fields which can induce quasi-sinusoidal oscillations in the X-ray…
PBH dark matter from axion inflation
Valerie Domcke, Francesco Muia, Mauro Pieroni +1
Protected by an approximate shift symmetry, axions are well motivated candidates for driving cosmic inflation. Their generic coupling to the Chern-Simons term of any gauge theory g…
