Description
Warped throats arise generically in string theory flux compactifications, which play a crucial role in the process of moduli stabilisation. Therefore, these non-trivial geometries provide novel avenues to explore cosmological paradigms, such as early and late time acceleration, namely inflation and dark energy. I will discuss recent developments on phenomenological applications of warped throats for cosmological acceleration and 4D gravity.
