Inflation with a graceful exit in a random landscape

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We develop a stochastic description of small-field inflationary histories with a graceful exit in a random potential whose Hessian is a Gaussian random matrix as a model of the unstructured part of the string landscape.

S-duality and compactification of type IIB superstring action

open access: yes, 1997
The SL(2,R) invaraint ten dimensional type IIB superstring effective action is compactified on a torus to D spacetime dimensions. The transformation properties of scalar, vector and tensor fields, appearing after the dimensional reduction, are obtained ...

Octonionic Magical Supergravity, Niemeier Lattices, and Exceptional & Hilbert Modular Forms

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 72, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract The quantum degeneracies of Bogomolny‐Prasad‐Sommerfield (BPS) black holes of octonionic magical supergravity in five dimensions are studied. Quantum degeneracy is defined purely number theoretically as the number of distinct states in charge space with a given set of invariant labels.

dS vacua and the swampland

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
In this note we revisit some of the recent 10d and 4d arguments suggesting that the uplifting of supersymmetric AdS vacua leads to a flattening of the potential, preventing the formation of dS vacua.

Bosonic construction of superstring theory and related topics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This thesis splits into two parts. In the first part we introduce a bosonic construction of the ten-dimensional fermionic theories. This construction relies on a consistent truncation procedure which can produce fermions out of bosons. We illustrate this

Quantum log-corrections to swampland conjectures

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Taking the anti-de Sitter minimum of KKLT and the large volume scenario at face value, we argue for the existence of logarithmic quantum corrections to AdS swampland conjectures.

A positive metric over DGKT vacua

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We study the notion of a metric over the space of AdS solution in string theory, leading to an associated distance between them. Such a distance is the idea underlying the AdS distance conjecture.

Gauge supergravity in D = 2 + 2

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We present an action for chiral N = (1, 0) supergravity in 2 + 2 dimensions. The fields of the theory are organized into an OSp(1|4) connection supermatrix, and are given by the usual vierbein V a , spin connection ω ab , and Majorana gravitino ψ.

Searching the landscape of flux vacua with genetic algorithms

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
In this paper, we employ genetic algorithms to explore the landscape of type IIB flux vacua. We show that genetic algorithms can efficiently scan the landscape for viable solutions satisfying various criteria. More specifically, we consider a symmetric T
