Flux compactifications in string theory: A comprehensive review
M Grana - Physics reports, 2006 - Elsevier
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 …

Systematics of moduli stabilisation in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications
V Balasubramanian, P Berglund… - Journal of High …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of
type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential …

Type IIA moduli stabilization
O DeWolfe, A Giryavets, S Kachru… - Journal of High Energy …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

New ekpyrotic cosmology
EI Buchbinder, J Khoury, BA Ovrut - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2007 - APS
In this paper, we present a new scenario of the early universe that contains a pre-big bang
ekpyrotic phase. By combining this with a ghost condensate, the theory explicitly violates the …

The exact MSSM spectrum from string theory
We show the existence of realistic vacua in string theory whose observable sector has
exactly the matter content of the MSSM. This is achieved by compactifying the E 8× E 8 …

Stringy corrections to Kaehler potentials, SUSY breaking, and the cosmological constant problem
V Balasubramanian, P Berglund - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
The moduli of N= 1 compactifications of IIB string theory can be stabilized by a combination
of fluxes (which freeze complex structure moduli and the dilaton) and nonperturbative …

Fayet–Iliopoulos terms in supergravity and cosmology
We clarify the structure of N= 1 supergravity in 1+ 3 dimensions with constant Fayet–
Iliopoulos (FI) terms. The FI terms gξ induce non-vanishing R-charges for the fermions and …

Inflation in AdS/CFT
We study the AdS/CFT correspondence as a probe of inflation. We assume the existence of
a string landscape containing at least one stable AdS vacuum and a (nearby) metastable de …

Bottom-up approach to moduli dynamics in heavy gravitino scenario:<? format?> Superpotential, soft terms, and sparticle mass spectrum
M Endo, M Yamaguchi, K Yoshioka - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2005 - APS
The physics of moduli fields is examined in the scenario where the gravitino is relatively
heavy with mass of order 10 TeV, which is favored in view of the severe gravitino problem …
