Some Reflections on Moduli, Their Stabilization and Cosmology

چکیده

We review some aspects of moduli in string theory. We argue that one should focus on approximate moduli spaces, and that there is evidence that such spaces exist nonperturbatively. We ask what it would mean for string theory to predict low energy supersymmetry. Aspects of two proposed mechanisms for fixing the moduli are discussed, and solutions to certain cosmological problems associated with moduli are proposed. invited talk at ITP Conference on New Dimensions in Field Theory and String Theory, ITP Nov17, 1999

Moduli Stabilization in String Gas Cosmology LTEX2ε Version

String gas cosmology is an approach towards studying the effects of superstring theory on early universe cosmology which is based on new symmetries and new degrees of freedom of string theory. Within this context, it appears possible to stabilize the moduli which describe the size and shape of the extra spatial dimensions without the need of introducing many extra tools such as warping and flux...

Stabilizing Moduli with String Cosmology

In this talk I will discuss the role of finite temperature quantum corrections in string cosmology and show that they can lead to a stabilization mechanism for the volume moduli. I will show that from the higher dimensional perspective this results from the effect of states of enhanced symmetry on the one-loop free energy. These states lead not only to stabilization, but also suggest an alterna...

Yukawa cosmology and intersecting brane models

In string theory, stabilization of moduli fields and their cosmological implications have been discussed by many authors. In this paper we do not consider conventional modulus, nor relative distance between two branes. We focus our attention to a relative position of three branes and discuss its cosmological problem. In general, stabilization of the relative position of three intersecting brane...

Stabilization of moduli by fluxes

One of the major problem appearing in compactifications of string theory, is the emergence of a continuous moduli space of string vacua. In order to get contact, not only to the standard model of particle physics, but also to (inflationary) cosmology, these moduli have to be fixed and if supersymmetry is broken only at fairly low energies, we have to understand the mechanism while preserving at...
