We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

We critically review the role of cosmological moduli in determining the post-inflationary
history of the universe. Moduli are ubiquitous in string and M-theory constructions of beyond …

Consistent uplifting of AdS vacua in string theory often requires extra light degrees of
freedom in addition to those of a (Kähler) modulus. Here we consider the possibility that de …

A bstract A generic feature of string compactifications is the presence of many scalar fields,
called moduli. Moduli are usually displaced from their post-inflationary minimum during …

This paper develops the computation of soft supersymmetry breaking terms for chiral D7
matter fields in IIB Calabi-Yau flux compactifications with stabilised moduli. We determine …

A bstract We analyse soft supersymmetry breaking in type IIB de Sitter string vacua after
moduli stabilisation, focussing on models in which the Standard Model is sequestered from …

Gauginos might play a crucial role in the search for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC). Mass predictions for gauginos are rather robust and often related to the …

String theoretical ideas might be relevant for particle physics model building. Ideally one
would hope to find a unified theory of all fundamental interactions. There are only a few …

A bstract We perform a systematic analysis of moduli stabilisation for weakly coupled
heterotic string theory compactified on internal manifolds which are smooth Calabi-Yau …

Within the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), LHC bounds suggest that
scalar superpartner masses are far above the electroweak scale. Given a high superpartner …
