SUMMARY:Amsterdam UvA Spring 2017
DESCRIPTION:UvA Amsterdam\, March 3\, 2017 \nThe meeting will take place in room C0.05 in the Science Park. \n14:15-15:15 Talk by Jaume Garriga (Barcelona)\nTitle: Primordial black holes from cosmic inflation \n15:15 – 15:45 Coffee \n15:45-16:45 Talk by Marjorie Schillo (Leuven)\nTitle: A new top-down model of inflation \nAbstract: I will present recent work that has succeeded in embedding the mechanism of Unwinding Inflation in string theory. I will review Unwinding Inflation and the process of brane-flux annihilation\, in which D-brane charge in a flux background can dissolve and discharge Ramond-Ramond flux.  A dynamical brane mediates the brane-flux annihilation as it moves across a compact internal cycle.  This mechanism has recently been extended such that many units of flux can be discharged in a “flux cascade.”  The flux cascade can be used to reduce vacuum energy and give rise to 60 efolds of inflation.
