Bubbles of nothing in flux compactifications [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2010 We construct a simple AdS_4 x S^1 flux compactification stabilized by a complex scalar field winding the extra dimension and demonstrate an instability via nucleation of a bubble of nothing. This occurs when the Kaluza -- Klein dimension degenerates to a point, defining the bubble surface. Because the extra dimension is stabilized by a flux, the bubble

Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 We review recent work in which compactifications of string and M theory are constructed in which all scalar fields (moduli) are massive, and supersymmetry is broken with a small positive cosmological constant, features needed to reproduce real world physics.

On flux compactification and moduli stabilization [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2006 We study the effect of adding charged matter fields to both D3 and D7 branes in type IIB string theory compactification with fluxes. Generically, charged matter fields induce additional terms to the Kahler form, the superpotential and the D-terms. These terms allow for minima with positive or zero cosmological constants, even in the absence of non ...

Warping the effective field theory of string flux compactifications [PDF]
, 2022 Several phenomenological scenarios in string theory involve branes and fluxes, which are necessary in order to reproduce the proper gauge and matter sector and to provide a non-trivial potential for the so called moduli, scalars which are usually ...

𝒩 = 1 SCFTs from F-theory on Orbifolds
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study four-dimensional superconformal field theories living on the worldvolume of D3 branes probing minimally-supersymmetric F-theory backgrounds, focusing on the case of orbi-orientifold setups with and without 7-branes.

Compactifications of ADE conformal matter on a torus
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 In this paper we study compactifications of ADE type conformal matter, N M5 branes probing ADE singularity, on torus with flux for global symmetry. We systematically construct the four dimensional theories by first going to five dimensions and studying ...

Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT
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.
