The DNA of Calabi–Yau Hypersurfaces

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Genetic Algorithms are implemented for triangulations of four‐dimensional reflexive polytopes, which induce Calabi–Yau threefold hypersurfaces via Batyrev's construction. These algorithms are shown to efficiently optimize physical observables such as axion decay constants or axion–photon couplings in string theory compactifications.

Symmetric fluxes and small tadpoles

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
The analysis of type IIB flux vacua on warped Calabi-Yau orientifolds becomes considerably involved for a large number of complex structure fields.

FTheoryTools: Advancing Computational Capabilities for F‐Theory Research

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract A primary goal of string phenomenology is to identify realistic four‐dimensional physics within the landscape of string theory solutions. In F‐theory, such solutions are encoded in the geometry of singular elliptic fibrations, whose study often requires particularly challenging and cumbersome computations.

SUSY phenomenology of KKLT flux compactifications [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005
We study SUSY phenomenology of the KKLT (Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi) scenario of string theory compactifications with fluxes. This setup leads to a specific pattern of soft masses and distinct phenomenological properties. In particular, it avoids the cosmological gravitino/moduli problems.

Compactifications of Type II supergravities in superspace

Journal of High Energy Physics
We propose a way to describe compactifications of Type II supergravities with fluxes directly from superspace. The on-shell supergravity constraints used are the ones that arise naturally from the pure spinor superstring.

On flux vacua and modularity

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Geometric modularity has recently been conjectured to be a characteristic feature of flux vacua with W = 0. This paper provides support for the conjecture by computing motivic modular forms in a direct way for several string compactifications for which ...

The tadpole problem

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We examine the mechanism of moduli stabilization by fluxes in the limit of a large number of moduli. We conjecture that one cannot stabilize all complex-structure moduli in F-theory at a generic point in moduli space (away from singularities) by fluxes ...

Profinite direct sums with applications to profinite groups of type ΦR$\Phi _R$

Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We show that the ‘profinite direct sum’ is a good notion of infinite direct sums for profinite modules, having properties similar to those of direct sums of abstract modules. For example, the profinite direct sum of projective modules is projective, and there is a Mackey's formula for profinite modules described using these sums.

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

Theta divisors and permutohedra

Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract We establish an intriguing relation of the smooth theta divisor Θn$\Theta ^n$ with permutohedron Πn$\Pi ^n$ and the corresponding toric variety XΠn$X_\Pi ^n$. In particular, we show that the generalised Todd genus of the theta divisor Θn$\Theta ^n$ coincides with h$h$‐polynomial of permutohedron Πn$\Pi ^n$ and thus is different from the same ...
