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 possibility of
obtaining de Sitter space was called into question. Therefore,
there is an interesting debate as to whether de Sitter space or,
even, quintessence can be derived from a fundamental theory, string
theory or otherwise. This is a very active field of research, and
the topics covered in the book render this work very timely.
Throughout the book, special care has been taken in demonstrating
historical relevance of the field and describing the set of open
questions motivating the state-of-the-art research. The first few
chapters in each part provide a detailed review of standard
perturbative and non-perturbative techniques in supergravity model
building, as a way to prepare the reader for the more technical and
original subsequent chapters. These early chapters also represent a
self-contained review that would be useful for anyone planning to
enter this challenging area of study. The subsequent chapters
detail research in supergravity-motivated effective field theories,
in the first part, and supergravity models, in the second part. One
of the important conclusions in this book is that modelling
quintessence in perturbative string theory is at least as
challenging as modelling de Sitter, placing the wider programme on
a collision course with observations.
