A worldsheet description of flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We demonstrate how recent developments in string field theory provide a framework to systematically study type II flux compactifications with non-trivial Ramond-Ramond profiles.

Asymptotic flux compactifications and the swampland [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We initiate the systematic study of flux scalar potentials and their vacua by using asymptotic Hodge theory. To begin with, we consider F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds with four-form flux.

Proton decay in flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We study proton decay in a six-dimensional orbifold GUT model with gauge group SO(10)×U(1) A . Magnetic U(1) A flux in the compact dimensions determines the multiplicity of quark-lepton generations, and it also breaks supersymmetry by giving universal ...

Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In flux compactifications of type IIB string theory with D3 and seven-branes, the negative induced D3 charge localized on seven-branes leads to an apparently pathological profile of the metric sufficiently close to the source.

Universal axion backreaction in flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We study the backreaction effect of a large axion field excursion on the saxion partner residing in the same N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 multiplet. Such configurations are relevant in attempts to realize axion monodromy inflation in string compactifications.

Moduli stabilization in asymptotic flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We present a novel strategy to systematically study complex-structure moduli stabilization in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. In particular, we determine vacua in any asymptotic regime of the complex-structure moduli space by exploiting ...

Massive IIA flux compactifications with dynamical open strings [PDF]
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe consider massive type IIA compactifications down to 4 dimensions in presence of O6 planes and D6 branes parallel to them, in order to preserve half-maximal supersymmetry in 4D.

Flux compactifications in string theory: A comprehensive review [PDF]
, 2005 We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed string fluxes in type II theories.

Flux compactifications on
, 2014 We investigate a simple extra-dimensional model and its four-dimensional vacua. This model has a two-form flux and a positive cosmological constant, and the extra dimensions are compactified as the product of $N$ two-spheres. The theory is an interesting

Type IIB flux compactifications with h 1,1 = 0 [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We revisit flux compactifications of type IIB string theory on ‘spaces’ dual to rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. This rather unexplored part of the string landscapes harbors many interesting four-dimensional solutions, namely supersymmetric N $$ \mathcal{N} $$
