Brane/Antibrane Backreaction in Axion Monodromy Inflation
๐Ÿ“ London
Joseph Conlon (Oxford)
Venue: KCL ยท Room: S4.23 ยท Time: 13:15 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
TransPlanckian inflationary excursions are very interesting because they are sensitive to Planck-suppressed operators and can generate observable tensor modes. I review one proposed model generating a transPlanckian excursion and argue that consideration of antibrane backreaction renders the assumptions entering the model inconsistent.
