We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic
ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed-string fluxes in type-II …

This review article provides a pedagogical introduction into various classes of chiral string
compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes. The main concern is to …

We demonstrate that flux compactifications of type IIA string theory can classically stabilize
all geometric moduli. For a particular orientifold background, we explicitly construct an …

We analyse the most general supersymmetric solutions of D= 11 supergravity consisting of a
warped product of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a six-dimensional Riemannian …

We characterize Script N= 1 vacua of type-II theories in terms of generalized complex
structure on the internal manifold M. The structure group of T (M)⊕ T*(M) being SU (3)× SU …

A general form for all supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in six dimensions is
obtained. Examples of new supersymmetric solutions are presented. It is proved that the …

We study the effects of adding RR, NS and metric fluxes on a T 6/(Ω (− 1) FLI 3) type IIA
orientifold. By using the effective flux-induced superpotential we obtain Minkowski or AdS …

Motivated by its potential use as a starting point for solving various cosmological constant
problems, we study F‐theory compactified on the warped product where Y8 is a manifold …

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for Script N= 1 compactifications of (massive)
IIA supergravity to AdS 4 in the language of SU (3) structures. We find new solutions …
