Higher derivative corrections to string inflation

Journal of High Energy Physics
We quantitatively estimate the leading higher derivative corrections to N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravity derived from IIB string compactifications and study how they may affect moduli stabilisation and LVS inflation models.

Some Aspects of String Cosmology and the LHC

, 2012
I discuss some (unconventional) aspects of String Cosmology of relevance to supersymmetric dark matter searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

Black holes at accelerators

, 2010
In theories with large extra dimensions and TeV-scale gravity, black holes are copiously produced in particle collisions at energies well above the Planck scale.

Taxonomy of infinite distance limits

Journal of High Energy Physics
The Emergent String Conjecture constrains the possible types of light towers in infinite-distance limits in quantum gravity moduli spaces. In this paper, we use these constraints to restrict the geometry of the scalar charge-to-mass vectors ...

The bubble of nothing under T-duality

Journal of High Energy Physics
The bubble of nothing is a solution to Einstein’s equations where a circle shrinks and pinches off smoothly. As such, it is one of the simplest examples of a dynamical cobordism to nothing.

Towards a string realization of the Dark Dimension via T-folds

Journal of High Energy Physics
In this work, we explore the feasibility of realizing the Dark Dimension Scenario through T-fold compactifications on T 5 × S 1, where the base of the internal space S 1 naturally acts as the requisite mesoscopic extra dimension. Utilizing Scherk-Schwarz

Self-tracking solutions for asymptotic scalar fields

Journal of High Energy Physics
We explore the dynamics of pure scalar fields rolling on an exponential potential in the absence of any additional background fluid and demonstrate the existence of self-tracking solutions in which the self-perturbations of the scalar field act as an ...

End of the world boundaries for chiral quantum gravity theories

Journal of High Energy Physics
We describe the construction of large classes of explicit string theory backgrounds corresponding to 6d and 4d chiral theories with end of the world boundaries, and describe the strong coupling phenomena involved in gapping the chiral (but non-anomalous)
