Recently it has been demonstrated that the breaking of space-time supersymmetry in the context of string-induced effective actions may be realized in a duality invariant way using gaugino condensates. In this paper, although generically the ground state is a negative minimum, the authors present a toy model of a Hawking-Moss type inflation by invoking a one-loop Casimir effect and adjusting the cosmological constant to zero. This can only be justified a posteriori since the authors obtain inflation and compactification of the target space albeit fine-tuning is necessary.
