Dynamical solution of supergravity (2008)
Binetruy, Pierre, Sasaki, Misao, Uzawa, Kunihito
We present a class of dynamical solutions for an intersecting D4-D8 brane system in ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity. The dynamical solutions reduces to a static warped AdS_6 x S^4 geometry in a...

Binetruy, Pierre, Sasaki, Misao, Uzawa, Kunihito
We present a class of dynamical solutions for an intersecting D4-D8 brane system in ten-dimensional type IIA supergravity. The dynamical solutions reduces to a static warped AdS_6 x S^4 geometry in a...
Twenty-five Questions for String Theorists (2005)
Binetruy, Pierre, Kane, G. L., Lykken, Joseph, Nelson, Brent D.
In an effort to promote communication between the formal and phenomenological branches of the high-energy theory community, we provide a description of some important issues in supersymmetric and...
Local Axion Cosmic Strings from Superstrings (2005)
Davis, Stephen C., Binetruy, Pierre, Davis, Anne-Christine
Axionic cosmic string solutions are investigated in a superstring motivated model with a pseudo-anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry. The inclusion of a gauge field and spatially varying dilaton allow local...
Binetruy, Pierre, Bucher, Martin, Carvalho, Carla
Using some simple toy models, we explore the nature of the brane-bulk interaction for cosmological models with a large extra dimension. We are in particular interested in understanding the role of...
Fayet-Iliopoulos Terms in Supergravity and Cosmology (2004)
Binetruy, Pierre, Dvali, Gia, Kallosh, Renata, Van Proeyen, Antoine
We clarify the structure of N=1 supergravity in 1+3 dimensions with constant FI terms. The FI terms induce non-vanishing R-charges for the fermions and the superpotential. Therefore the D-term...
Relating Incomplete Data and Incomplete Theory (2003)
Binetruy, Pierre, Kane, G. L., Nelson, Brent D., Wang, Lian-Tao, Wang, Ting T.
Assuming string theorists will not soon provide a compelling case for the primary theory underlying particle physics, the field will proceed as it has historically: with data stimulating and testing...
Direct and Indirect Detection of Dark Matter in Heterotic Orbifold Models (2003)
Binetruy, Pierre, Mambrini, Yann, Nezri, Emmanuel
We study the neutralino dark matter phenomenology in the context of effective field theories derived from the weakly--coupled heterotic string. We consider in particular direct detection and indirect...
Phenomenological Aspects of Heterotic Orbifold Models at One Loop (2003)
Binetruy, Pierre, Birkedal-Hansen, Andreas, Mambrini, Yann, Nelson, Brent D.
We provide a detailed study of the phenomenology of orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string within the context of supergravity effective theories. Our investigation focuses on those models...
Avoidance of Naked Singularities in Dilatonic Brane World Scenarios with a Gauss-Bonnet Term (2002)
Binetruy, Pierre, Charmousis, Christos, Davis, Stephen C, Dufaux, Jean-Francois
We consider, in 5 dimensions, the low energy effective action induced by heterotic string theory including the leading stringy correction of order alpha'. In the presence of a single positive tension...
One Loop Soft Supersymmetry Breaking Terms in Superstring Effective Theories (2000)
Binetruy, Pierre, Gaillard, Mary K., Nelson, Brent D.
We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the one loop level in a large class of string effective field theories. This includes the so-called anomaly mediated...
One-loop soft supersymmetry breaking terms in superstring effective theories. (2000)
Binetruy, Pierre, Gaillard, Mary K., Nelson, Brent D.
We perform a systematic analysis of soft supersymmetry breaking terms at the one loop level ina large class of string effective field theories. This includes the so-called anomaly mediated...
Binetruy, Pierre, Silk, Joseph
It has been recently argued that higher dimensional gravity theories may manifest themselves not only at short microscopic distances but also at large cosmological scales. We study the constraints...
Cosmological constant vs. quintessence (2000)
There is some evidence that the Universe is presently undergoing accelerating expansion. This has restored some credit to the scenarios with a non-vanishing cosmological constant. From the point of...
Brane cosmological evolution in a bulk with cosmological constant (1999)
Binetruy, Pierre, Deffayet, Cedric, Ellwanger, Ulrich, Langlois, David
We consider the cosmology of a ``3-brane universe'' in a five dimensional (bulk) space-time with a cosmological constant. We show that Einstein's equations admit a first integral, analogous to the...
Non-conventional cosmology from a brane-universe (1999)
Binetruy, Pierre, Deffayet, Cedric, Langlois, David
We consider ``brane-universes'', where matter is confined to four-dimensional hypersurfaces (three-branes) whereas one extra compact dimension is felt by gravity only. We show that the cosmology of...
Models of dynamical supersymmetry breaking and quintessence (1998)
We study several models of relevance for the dynamical breaking of supersymmetry which could provide a scalar component with equation of state $p=w\rho$, $-1
Supersymmetry breaking and weakly vs. strongly coupled string theory (1997)
Binetruy, Pierre, Gaillard, Mary K., Wu, Yi-Yen
In the context of the field theory limit of superstrings, we consider an almost realistic model of supersymmetry breaking by gaugino condensation which includes, through nonperturbative corrections...
Modular Invariant Formulation of Multi-Gaugino and Matter Condensation (1996)
Binetruy, Pierre, Gaillard, Mary K., Wu, Yi-Yen
Using the linear multiplet formulation for the dilaton superfield, we construct an effective lagrangian for hidden-sector gaugino condensation in string effective field theories with arbitrary gauge...
We show that inflation which is dominated by the D-term density avoids the `slow-roll' problem of inflation in supergravity. Such an inflationary scenario can naturally emerge in theories with...
S-Duality Constraints On Effective Potentials For Gaugino Condensation (1995)
Binetruy, Pierre, Gaillard, Mary K.
We clarify the role of approximate S-duality in effective supergravity theories that are the low energy limits of string theories, and show how this partial symmetry may be used to constrain...
Yukawa Textures and Anomalies (1994)
Binetruy, Pierre, Ramond, Pierre
We augment the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with a gauged family-dependent $U(1)$ to reproduce Yukawa textures compatible with experiment. In the simplest model with one extra chiral...
