Cosmological Solutions of Type II Superstrings

Abstract

We study maximally symmetric cosmological solutions of type II supersymmetric strings in the presence of the exact quartic curvature corrections to the lowest order effective action, including loop and D-instanton effects. We find that, unlike the case of type IIA theories, de Sitter solutions exist for type IIB superstrings, a conclusion that remains valid when higher-curvature corrections are included on the basis of SL(2,Z) invariance.
