Liam McAllister (Cornell U.)

Description

I will report on progress in computing four-dimensional effective theories of quantum gravity from compactifications of string theory. I will describe applications to axion cosmology, the strong CP problem, and black hole superradiance, emphasizing novel aspects that arise when the number of moduli is large.
