Gauge supergravity in D = 2 + 2
Journal 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
Journal 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,

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

The anomaly that was not meant IIB
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Type IIB supergravity enjoys a discrete non‐Abelian duality group, which has potential quantum anomalies. In this paper we explicitly compute these, and present the bordism group that controls them, modulo some physically motivated assumptions.

Searching the landscape of flux vacua with genetic algorithms
Journal 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

Anomalies, dualities, and topology of D = 6 N = 1 superstring vacua [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1996 We consider various aspects of compactifications of the Type I/heterotic $Spin(32)/\Z_2$ theory on K3. One family of such compactifications includes the standard embedding of the spin connection in the gauge group, and is on the same moduli space as the compactification of the heterotic $E_8\times E_8$ theory on K3 with instanton numbers (8,16 ...

Fundamental Units of Measurement and Extra Dimensions
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The space available to our perception is three-dimensional with full evidence. The development of physics led to the hypothesis of extra dimensions. It is believed that an important role in the unification of physics should play by the Planck units of mass, length and time, built on the universal constants c (the speed of light in a vacuum), G (the ...

Swampland variations on a theme by KKLT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 The KKLT scenario in a warped throat, if consistent, provides a concrete counterexample to both the AdS scale separation and the dS swampland conjectures.

Towards a complete mass spectrum of type-IIB flux vacua at large complex structure
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The large number of moduli fields arising in a generic string theory compactification makes a complete computation of the low energy effective theory infeasible.

Topics in Supersymmetry Breaking and Gauge/Gravity Dualities [PDF]
, 2010 The thesis covers two topics in string theory and quantum field theory. First, we realize metastable vacua in various supersymmetric gauge theories. Specifically, we consider the Coulomb branch of any N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, and perturb it by ...
