Moduli space holography and the finiteness of flux vacua
A holographic perspective to study and characterize field spaces that arise in string compactifications is suggested. A concrete correspondence is developed by studying two-dimensional moduli spaces in supersymmetric string compactifications.

New non-supersymmetric flux vacua in string theory
In this note we construct large ensembles of supersymmetry breaking solutions arising in the context of flux compactifications of type IIB string theory.

M-theory Compactifications to Three Dimensions with M2-brane Potentials [PDF]
We study a class of compactifications of M-theory to three dimensions that preserve N=2 supersymmetry and which have the defining feature that a probe space-time filling M2 brane feels a non-trivial potential on the internal manifold.

Type IIB flux compactifications with h 1,1 = 0
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 $$ \mathcal{N} $$

The tadpole conjecture at large complex-structure
The tadpole conjecture by Bena, Blåbäck, Graña and Lüst effectively states that for string-theory compactifications with a large number of complex-structure moduli, not all of these moduli can be stabilized by fluxes.

Three-forms in supergravity and flux compactifications
We present a duality procedure that relates conventional four-dimensional matter-coupled $$\mathcal{N}=1$$ N = 1 supergravities to dual formulations in which auxiliary fields are replaced by field strengths of gauge three-forms.

Sharpening the boundaries between flux landscape and swampland by tadpole charge
We investigate the vacuum structure of four-dimensional effective theory arising from Type IIB flux compactifications on a mirror of the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold, corresponding to a T-dual of the DeWolfe-Giryavets-Kachru-Taylor model in Type IIA flux ...

Twisted tori and fluxes: a no go theorem for Lie groups of weak G_2 holonomy [PDF]
In this paper we prove the theorem that there exists no 7--dimensional Lie group manifold G of weak G2 holonomy. We actually prove a stronger statement, namely that there exists no 7--dimensional Lie group with negative definite Ricci tensor Ric_{IJ}.

Fluxes in exceptional field theory and threebrane sigma-models
Starting from a higher Courant bracket associated to exceptional generalized geometry, we provide a systematic derivation of all types of fluxes and their Bianchi identities for four-dimensional compactifications of M-theory.
