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.

Weakly coupled de Sitter vacua with fluxes and the swampland

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
It was recently argued that the swampland distance conjecture rules out dS vacua at parametrically large field distances. We point out that this conclusion can in principle be avoided in the presence of large fluxes that are not bounded by a tadpole ...

On the Role of Torsion and Higher Forms in Off‐Shell Supergravity

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 71, Issue 8-9, September 2023., 2023
Abstract The presence of a nonvanishing totally antisymmetric (super)torsion, equivalent to an axial vector, and higher forms in the “new minimal” and “old minimal” off‐shell formulations of N=1$\mathcal {N}=1$, D=4$D=4$ supergravity is elaborated. The geometric superspace approach and study both the geometric Lagrangian and the off‐shell closure of ...

Enhancement of Out‐of‐Plane Spin–Orbit Torque by Interfacial Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 12, March 23, 2023., 2023
The oxidation in CuPt/ferromagnet interface is found to be able to enhance the out‐of‐plane (OOP) torque and associated spin–orbit torque (SOT) switching efficiency with remaining threefold rotational symmetry. The enhancement is independent of the device shapes, magnetic materials, or magnetization easy axis.

Mass Hierarchies and Quantum Gravity Constraints in DKMM‐refined KKLT

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract We carefully revisit the mass hierarchies for the KKLT scenario with an uplift term from an anti D3‐brane in a strongly warped throat. First, we derive the bound resulting from what is usually termed “the throat fitting into the bulk” directly from the Klebanov‐Strassler geometry.

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.

Homotopy Transfer and Effective Field Theory II: Strings and Double Field Theory

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 2-3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of L∞$L_\infty$‐algebras, and apply it to tree‐level non‐Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass to the modes that are kept. We focus on the construction of effective actions for string states at fixed

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.

The LVS parametric tadpole constraint

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
The large volume scenario (LVS) for de Sitter compactifications of the type IIB string is, at least in principle, well protected from various unknown corrections. The reason is that, by construction, the Calabi-Yau volume is exponentially large. However,
