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 ...

Geometric Algebra Techniques in Flux Compactifications [PDF]
Advances in High Energy Physics, 2016 We study “constrained generalized Killing (s)pinors,” which characterize supersymmetric flux compactifications of supergravity theories. Using geometric algebra techniques, we give conceptually clear and computationally effective methods for translating ...

Flux compactifications and naturalness [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 Free massless scalars have a shift symmetry. This is usually broken by gauge and Yukawa interactions, such that quantum corrections induce a quadratically divergent mass term.

Automated consistent truncations and stability of flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Classical flux compactifications contribute to a well-controlled corner of the string landscape, therefore providing an important testing ground for a variety of conjectures.

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.

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.

Meromorphic flux compactification [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 We present exact solutions of four-dimensional Einstein’s equations related to Minkoswki vacuum constructed from Type IIB string theory with non-trivial fluxes.

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.

Proton decay in flux compactifications
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 ...

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