Cosmology with warped flux compactification

Inflation in the early universe and the accelerated expansion of the late-time universe are two major quasi de Sitter phases in the history of our universe. Thus, any candidates for the unified theory of nature must allow 4-dimensional de Sitter or/and quasi de Sitter solutions. It is only recent that a consistent 4-dimensional de Sitter solution was found in string theory by using warped flux compactification and branes. In this talk I would like to discuss cosmological applications of models of warped flux compactification.
