String loop corrections to Kähler potentials in orientifolds (2005, background): “A second interesting application of our results lies in the field of brane inflation, initiated in [6, 7, 8, 9] where an open string scalar plays the role of the inflaton field.”
Planck2018 results (2018, background): “– D-brane inflationary models (Kachru et al. 2003; Dvali et al. 2001; Garcı́a-Bellido et al. 2002) provide a good fit to Planck and BK14 data for a large portion of their parameter space.”
Inflation in realistic D-brane models (2004, methodology): “In this sense our scenario generalises the one in [9].”
Pure de Sitter supergravity (2015, methodology): “The Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi (KKLT) uplifting procedure for constructing de Sitter (dS) vacua in string theory was proposed in [3].”
Emergence of spontaneously broken supersymmetry on an anti-D3-brane in KKLT dS vacua (2014, background): “The uplifting term was added in the next step in the KKLT construction in the form [1,2]”
Cosmology with nilpotent superfields (2014, background): “as expected in the situation with warping [54].”
Inflation and String Theory (2014, background): “throat region [41] as a source for inflation.”
Axion inflation in type II string theory (2007, background): “[62, 63, 64], we will add an up-lift term of the form Vup = κ/Vα to V (S), where κ is a tunable constants and α is a rational number of order unity depending on the source of the up-lifting energy.”
Loop corrections to volume moduli and inflation in string theory (2004, methodology): “Note that there is a slight difference to the model of KKLMMT.”
D‐branes in Standard Model building, gravity and cosmology (2003, background): “There are, however, several problems with this type of inflationary scenarios [308].”
Closer towards inflation in string theory (2003, background): “Recently, there was just such an attempt (KKLMMT) [ 3 ].”
TOWARD REALISTIC INTERSECTING D-BRANE MODELS (2005, methodology): “This idea of brane inflation [221] has been applied to construct inflationary models arising from the collision of branes and anti-branes [221, 222, 223, 224, 225], as well as branes intersecting at angles [226, 227, 228].”
