• Inflationary Cosmology after Planck 2013 (2014, background): “Since the natural energy scale for the metastable vacua in the landscape can be almost as large as O(1) in Planck units, one concludes that the initial conditions for the slow roll inflation in this scenario can naturally emerge after the stage of the false vacuum inflation in the landscape [75].”
• Searching for slow-roll moduli inflation in massive type IIA supergravity with metric fluxes (2008, methodology): “After the ground breaking work of KKLT provided a mechanism to stabilize all moduli in the context of type IIB string theory [3], a lot of work has been done toward understanding inflation in string theory setups that are under control [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [2].”
• Towards an explicit model of D-brane inflation (2007, background): “[6, 13, 8]) is that because of the vast number and complexity of string vacua, in some non-zero fraction of them it should be the case that the corrections to the inflaton potential cancel to high precision, leaving a suitable inflationary model.”
