Descripción
Compactifications of Type II String Theory are characterised by an abundance of stringy axions, whose properties provide models for cosmology (large field inflation) and solutions to the strong CP problem. Consistent geometric settings with D-branes induce various mixing effects which clutter the low energy effective theory for the axions. In this talk, we relate this effective theory to Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type models and discuss its relevance in light of large field and small field inflationary models. We also point out how these effective theories arise naturally from Type II String theory compactifications.
