Moduli stabilization in asymptotic flux compactifications
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We present a novel strategy to systematically study complex-structure moduli stabilization in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. In particular, we determine vacua in any asymptotic regime of the complex-structure moduli space by exploiting ...

On (scalar QED) gravitational positivity bounds
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study positivity bounds in the presence of gravity. We first review the gravitational positivity bound at the tree-level, where it is known that a certain amount of negativity is allowed for the coefficients of higher-derivative operators. The size of

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study the topological properties of Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces at large h 1,1. We obtain two million threefolds X by triangulating polytopes from the Kreuzer-Skarke list, including all polytopes with 240 ≤ h 1,1 ≤ 491.

Mass spectrum of type IIB flux compactifications — comments on AdS vacua and conformal dimensions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In this note we study the mass spectrum of type IIB flux compactifications. We first give a general discussion of the mass matrix for F-term vacua in four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravity theories and then specialize to type IIB Calabi ...

On scale separation in type II AdS flux vacua
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study the separation of AdS and Kaluza-Klein (KK) scales in type II 4d AdS orientifold vacua. We first address this problem in toroidal/orbifold type IIA vacua with metric fluxes, corresponding to compactifications in twisted tori, both from the 4d ...

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

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

Type IIB flux compactifications with h 1,1 = 0
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 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 $$ \mathcal{N} $$
