String Theory

I will talk about different aspects of inflationry models that can arise from 4D effective theories coming from type IIB String Theory. In particular I'll focus on concrete embeddings of fibre and Kähler moduli inflation.

I will discuss the problem of duality-symmetric descriptions for free fields
with the main focus on the covariant Lagrangian formulation generalising
that of Pasti, Sorokin and Tonin for duality-symmetric descriptions in d=4k,
as well as self-dual fields in d=4k+2 Minkowski spaces.
