Continuous Global Symmetries and Hyperweak Interactions in String Compactifications
C. P. Burgess, J. P. Conlon, L-Y. Hung +3
We revisit general arguments for the absence of exact continuous global symmetries in string compactifications and extend them to D-brane models. We elucidate the various ways appr…
Introduction to Effective Field Theory
C. P. Burgess
This review summarizes Effective Field Theory techniques, which are the modern theoretical tools for exploiting the existence of hierarchies of scale in a physical problem. The gen…
Warped Supersymmetry Breaking
C. P. Burgess, P. G. Camara, S. P. de Alwis +4
We address the size of supersymmetry-breaking effects within higher-dimensional settings where the observable sector resides deep within a strongly warped region, with supersymmetr…
Strings, Branes and Cosmology: What can we hope to learn?
C. P. Burgess
This article briefly summarizes the motivations for -- and recent progress in -- searching for cosmological configurations within string theory, with a focus on how much we might r…
Towards a Natural Theory of Dark Energy: Supersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions
C. P. Burgess
The first part of this article summarizes the evidence for Dark Energy and Dark Matter, as well as the naturalness issues which plague current theories of Dark Energy. The main poi…
Inflationary String Theory?
C. P. Burgess
The inflationary paradigm provides a robust description of the peculiar initial conditions which are required for the success of the Hot Big Bang model of cosmology, as well as of…
