Fake supersymmetry with tadpole potentials
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study tadpole potentials of non-supersymmetric strings, resorting to a first-order formalism known in the literature as fake supersymmetry. We present a detailed analysis for vacua with only gravity and the dilaton, displaying the obstructions that ...

The convex hull swampland distance conjecture and bounds on non-geodesics
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) restricts the geodesic distances that scalars can traverse in effective field theories as they approach points at infinite distance in moduli space.

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 ...

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 $$ \mathcal{N} $$

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.

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 ...

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

Quantum log-corrections to swampland conjectures
Journal 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.

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.
