Casimir forces from fermions in an extra dimension can stabilise Randall-Sundrum models. Contrary to previous expectations, the stabilisation can produce large electroweak hierarchies without fine tuning. The Casimir stabilisation occurs in…
We propose to discuss the modular flavor model and the stabilization of single modulus field in the Jordan frame supergravity with non-minimal scalar-curvature coupling of the form $\Phi(\tau,\bar{\tau})R$. Modular invariance and positivity…

We study moduli stabilization in the context of M-theory on compact manifolds with G2 holonomy, using superpotentials from flux and membrane instantons, and recent results for the Khaeler potential of such models. The existence of minima…
Type II orientifolds based on Landau-Ginzburg models are used to describe moduli stabilization for flux compactifications of type II theories from the world-sheet CFT point of view. We show that for certain types of type IIB orientifolds…
We find classically stable solitons (instantons) in odd (even) dimensional scalar noncommutative field theories whose scalar potential, $V(\ph)$, has at least two minima. These solutions are bubbles of the false vacuum whose size is set by…
We provide the exact time-dependent cosmological solutions in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) setup with bulk matter, which may be smoothly connected to the static RS metric. In the static limit of the extra dimension, the solutions are reduced to…
The region of moduli space of string theories which is most likely to describe the "real world" is where the string coupling is about unity and the volume of extra compact dimensions is about the same size as the string volume. Here we map…
Models with an extra dimension generally contain background scalar fields in a non-trivial configuration, whose stability must be ensured. With gravity present, the extra dimension is warped by the scalars, and the spin-0 degrees of freedom…
The nonminimal coupling (NMC) of the scalar field to the Ricci curvature is unavoidable in many cosmological scenarios. Inflation and quintessence models based on nonminimally coupled scalar fields are studied, with particular attention to…
In this paper we consider a non-minimally coupled scaler field, and show its equation of state parameter can crossing over -1, $\omega\to -1$, and bouncing condition. Also we obtain the stability conditions and consider reconstructing for…
In this paper, a model is proposed to solve the gauge hierarchy problem. Beyond the standard model, we introduce an extra scalar field that non-minimally couples to gravity. The fundamental scale is set at weak scale and Planck scale…
We study the existence of scalar fields outside neutral reflecting shells. We consider static massive scalar fields non-minimally coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We analytically investigated properties of scalar fields through the…
Quantum cosmology is investigated in a de Sitter minisuperspace model with a quantized scalar field non-minimally coupled to curvature. Quantum states of the scalar field must satisfy the regularity condition, which requires that the…
The stability problem of Randall-Sundrum braneworld is readdressed in the light of stabilizing bulk scalar fields. It is shown that in such scenario the instability persists because of back-reaction even when an arbitrary potential is…

We study the scalar potential in supersymmetric (orientifolded) Calabi Yau compactifications of Type IIB theory. We present a new mechanism to stabilize all closed string moduli at leading order in \alpha^{'} by introducing consistently…
It has recently been demonstrated that static spatially regular scalar fields, which are non-minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field of a charged central black hole, can be supported in the exterior regions of the black-hole…
