An Effect of α′ Corrections on Racetrack Inflation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the effects of α corrections to the Kähler potential on volume stabilisation and racetrack inflation. In a region where classical supergravity analysis is justified, quantum corrections can nevertheless be relevant for correctly analyzing moduli stabilisation and the onset of inflation.

Racetrack inflation and assisted moduli stabilisation
We present a model of inflation based on a racetrack model without flux stabilization. The initial conditions are set automatically through topological inflation. This ensures that the dilaton is not swept to weak coupling through either thermal effects or fast roll. Including the effect of non-dilaton fields we find that moduli provide natural candidates for the inflaton. The resulting potenti...
متن کاملD-term Uplifted Racetrack Inflation
It is shown that racetrack inflation can be implemented in a moduli stabilisation scenario with a supersymmetric uplifting D-term. The resulting model is completely described by an effective supergravity theory, in contrast to the original racetrack models. We study the inflationary dynamics and show that the gaugino condensates vary during inflation. The resulting spectral index is ns ≈ 0.95 a...
متن کاملEternal Inflation with α′-Corrections
Higher-order α-corrections are a generic feature of type IIB string compactifications. In KKLT-like models of moduli stabilization they provide a mechanism of breaking the noscale structure of the volume modulus. We present a model of inflation driven by the volume modulus of flux compactifications of the type IIB superstring. Using the effects of gaugino condensation on D7-branes and perturbat...
متن کاملInflation from String Theory
I review some aspects of obtaining inflation from string theory, in particular braneantibrane inflation within the framework of KKLMMT, and racetrack inflation. Further, I discuss recent work on the problem of reheating after brane-antibrane annihilation, and possible distinctive features of production of cosmic string and brane defects at this time.
متن کاملModuli as Inflatons in Heterotic M-theory
We consider different cosmological aspects of heterotic M-theory. In particular we look at the dynamical behaviour of the two relevant moduli in the theory, namely the length of the eleventh segment (πρ) and the volume of the internal six manifold (V ) in models where supersymmetry is broken by multiple gaugino condensation. We look at different ways to stabilize these moduli, namely racetrack ...
