Large field inflation and string moduli stabilization
Ralph Blumenhagen, Anamaria Font, Michael Fuchs +2
Recent developments on large scale string moduli stabilization via non-geometric fluxes are reviewed. In the framework of type IIB orientifolds on fluxed Calabi-Yau manifolds, the…
The Flux-Scaling Scenario: De Sitter Uplift and Axion Inflation
Ralph Blumenhagen, Cesar Damian, Anamaria Font +2
Non-geometric flux-scaling vacua provide promising starting points to realize axion monodromy inflation via the F-term scalar potential. We show that these vacua can be uplifted to…
Relating Double Field Theory to the Scalar Potential of N=2 Gauged Supergravity
Ralph Blumenhagen, Anamaria Font, Erik Plauschinn
The double field theory action in the flux formulation is dimensionally reduced on a Calabi-Yau three-fold equipped with non-vanishing type IIB geometric and non-geometric fluxes.…
A Flux-Scaling Scenario for High-Scale Moduli Stabilization in String Theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Anamaria Font, Michael Fuchs +4
Tree-level moduli stabilization via geometric and non-geometric fluxes in type IIB orientifolds on Calabi-Yau manifolds is investigated. The focus is on stable non-supersymmetric m…
Towards Axionic Starobinsky-like Inflation in String Theory
Ralph Blumenhagen, Anamaria Font, Michael Fuchs +2
It is shown that Starobinsky-like potentials can be realized in non-geometric flux compactifications of string theory, where the inflaton involves an axion whose shift symmetry can…
Generalized Metric Formulation of Double Field Theory on Group Manifolds
Ralph Blumenhagen, Pascal du Bosque, Falk Hassler +1
We rewrite the recently derived cubic action of Double Field Theory on group manifolds [arXiv:1410.6374] in terms of a generalized metric and extrapolate it to all orders in the fi…
