Recently it was found that a broad class of existing inflationary models based on supergravity can be significantly simplified if some of the standard, unconstrained chiral superfields are replaced by nilpotent superfields, associated with Volkov-Akulov supersymmetry. The same method allows to simplify the existing models of uplifting of AdS vacua in string theory. In this paper we will show that one can go well beyond simplifying the models that already exist. We will propose a broad class of new models of chaotic inflation based on supergravity with nilpotent superfields, which simultaneously incorporate both inflation and uplifting. They provide a simple unified description of inflation and the present acceleration of the universe in the supergravity context.

    Explicit construction of a chiral global embedding of Fibre Inflation with anti-D3 uplift on an h^{1,1}=4 K3-fibered Calabi-Yau, using magnetised D7-branes, a Whitney brane, and O3-planes at a conifold tip, with viabl...

  2. Quadratic Axion Couplings in String Theory

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Quadratic axion–gauge couplings θ²F² arise ubiquitously in string theory from classical, perturbative, and non-perturbative sources, with benchmark sizes often exceeding the QCD axion’s loop-induced coupling.
