Initial Conditions in the Effective Field Theory of Inflation
Ross O'Connell, R. Holman
Many different models of inflation give rise to the same effective field theory of the inflaton. While effective field theories in flat space provide little information about UV ph…
Heterotic Flux Attractors
Lilia Anguelova, Finn Larsen, Ross O'Connell
We find attractor equations describing moduli stabilization for heterotic compactifications with generic SU(3)-structure. Complex structure and Kähler moduli are treated on equal f…
Hypermoduli Stabilization, Flux Attractors, and Generating Functions
Finn Larsen, Ross O'Connell, Daniel Robbins
We study stabilization of hypermoduli with emphasis on the effects of generalized fluxes. We find a class of no-scale vacua described by ISD conditions even in the presence of geom…
Flux Attractors and Generating Functions
Finn Larsen, Ross O'Connell
We use the flux attractor equations to study IIB supergravity compactifications with ISD fluxes. We show that the attractor equations determine not just the values of moduli fields…
Integrable Deformations of Strings in Flux Backgrounds
Joshua L. Davis, Finn Larsen, Ross O'Connell +1
We study d=2 0A string theory perturbed by tachyon momentum modes in backgrounds with non-trivial tachyon condensate and Ramond-Ramond (RR) flux. In the matrix model description, w…
