Description
I will review the cosmological implications of generic features of string compactifications like the presence of fundamental strings, field-dependent couplings, rolling moduli which are gravitationally coupled, axion-like particles and hidden photons. These implications include inflation, cosmic superstrings and gravity waves, reheating, dark radiation and dark energy.
