The enhancon mechanism in string theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The enhancon mechanism is a specific phenomenon in string theory which resolves a certain naked spacetime singularity arising in the supergravity description related to N = 2 supersymmetric pure gauge theory.

de Sitter Excited State in Heterotic E8×E8${\rm E}_8 \times {\rm E}_8$ Theory

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract A novel duality sequence is devised to study late‐time cosmology in the heterotic E8×E8${\rm E}_8 \times {\rm E}_8$ setup of Horava and Witten with dynamical walls that are moving towards each other. Remarkably, the dimensionally reduced 4‐dimensional theory does not violate NEC and no bouncing or ekpyrotic phase is observed.

M2-branes and plane partitions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
There is a correspondence between the protected local operators in the 3d SCFTs describing the geometry ℂ2 probed by a stack of N M2-branes and plane partitions of trace N.

Probing the Black Hole Interior with Holographic Entanglement Entropy and the Role of AdS/BCFT Correspondence

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 9-10, October 2025.
The present work, entitled: Probing the Black Hole Interior with Holographic Entanglement Entropy and the Role of AdS/BCFT Correspondence by Fabiano F. Santos, is presented as an investigation of the black hole interior using the Holographic Entanglement Entropy (HEE) and AdS/BCFT Correspondence.

3d printing of 2d N=02 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) $$ gauge theories

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We introduce 3d printing, a new algorithm for generating 2d N=02 $$ \mathcal{N}=\left(0,2\right) $$ gauge theories on D1-branes probing singular toric Calabi-Yau 4-folds using 4d N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ gauge theories on D3-branes probing toric Calabi ...

Compactness of brane moduli and the String Lamppost Principle in d > 6

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We demonstrate the validity of the String Lamppost Principle — that all consistent theories of quantum gravity are in the String Landscape — for supersymmetric theories in d > 6 using compactness and connectedness of the moduli space of small instantons,

Two Micron‐Size Dark Dimensions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Two extra dimensions of micron scale might simultaneously address the gauge and cosmological hierarchy problems. In this paper various observational bounds in scenarios with one and two large extra dimensions are examined, to see if they are compatible with the micron scale.

Black holes in the gravity/gauge theory correspondence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a microscopic description of black hole thermodynamics. In this thesis, I study the relation between the classical physics of black holes and this microscopic description.

Bipartite field theories and D-brane instantons

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
We study D-brane instantons in systems of D3-branes at toric CY 3-fold singularities. The instanton effect can be described as a backreaction modifying the geometry of the mirror configuration, in which the breaking of U(1) symmetries by the instanton ...

Duality cascades and affine Weyl groups

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Brane configurations in a circle allow subsequent applications of the Hanany-Witten transitions, which are known as duality cascades. By studying the process of duality cascades corresponding to quantum curves with symmetries of Weyl groups, we find a ...
