• Quantum Gravity In De Sitter Space (2001, background): “In this context, let us consider cosmologies that accelerate more slowly than de Sitter space, as recently considered in [16,17].”
• The Cosmological Constant and Dark Energy (2002, background): “Building on earlier work119, Hellerman, Kaloper, and Susskind (2001), and Fischler et al. (2001) note that dark energy scalar field cosmological models have future event horizons characteristic of the de Sitter model.”
• Inflation in AdS/CFT (2005, background): “scription of inflation? More generally, what degrees of freedom are appropriate for a complete description of quantum gravity in this domain? A substantial amount of work has been done on these topics [13,14,15,16,17,18,19]. We will not be able to answer these questions in this paper, but we will try”
• String theory and quintessence (2001, result): “and S.Paban informed of us their work [ 15 ] reaching similar conclusions.”
• A)dS Backgrounds from Asymmetric Orientifolds (2001, background): “On the other hand, if this were to persist indefinitely, then the dark energy would dominate in the future, and one would have a situation with cosmological event horizons with the concommitant difficulties involved in formulating observables (in particular the lack of an S-matrix) [9][19][20][21].”
• Clean Time-Dependent String Backgrounds from Bubble Baths (2002, background): “We do not have a formulation of string perturbation theory which applies to generic time-dependent backgrounds, and we do not have a clear notion of what the observables are in a general background (there being in general no guarantee of the existence of an S-matrix) [1,2].”
• The Holographic principle (2002, background): “Implications of the holographic principle in other accelerating universes have been considered by Hellerman, Kaloper, and Susskind (2001) and Fischler et al. (2001); see also Banks and Dine (2001), Carneiro da Cunha (2002).”
• Towards inflation in string theory (2003, background): “In particular, the potential for the dilaton and for the compactification volume tends to be a rather steep function [3].”
