Linear Inflation from Axion Monodromy
Speaker(s): Liam McAllister
Abstract: Inflationary scenarios with detectable primordial tensor perturbations typically require symmetries that can protect the potential over a super-Planckian field excursion. An old and natural idea is for the inflaton to be an axion protected by a shift symmetry. However, this has appeared difficult to... read more

Compactification Effects in D-brane Inflation
Speaker(s): Liam McAllister
Abstract: Realizations of inflation in string theory hold the promise of connecting the theory to observational tests, and at the same time providing new insights for field theory models of inflation. I will report on progress towards realizing inflation on D-branes in type IIB string theory. Moduli stabiliz... read more
