Dark energy : from EFTs to supergravity

Dark energy : from EFTs to supergravity / Francesc Cunillera.

This book addresses supergravity and supergravity-motivated effective field theories in the context of cosmological model building. Extracting information about quintessence from string theory has attracted much attention in the past few years. The question became more urgent very recently after the...
