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.

On the stability of string theory vacua
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Vacuum compactifications may suffer from instabilities under small perturbations or tunnel effects; both are difficult to analyze. In this paper we consider the issue from a higher-dimensional perspective.

On supersymmetric AdS4 orientifold vacua
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 In this work we study ten-dimensional solutions to type IIA string theory of the form AdS4 × X 6 which contain orientifold planes and preserve N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supersymmetry.

de Sitter vacua from ten dimensions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We analyze the de Sitter construction of [1] using ten-dimensional supergravity, finding exact agreement with the four-dimensional effective theory. Starting from the fermionic couplings in the D7-brane action, we derive the ten-dimensional stress-energy

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study non-perturbative instabilities of AdS spacetime in General Relativity with a cosmological constant in arbitrary dimensions. In this simple setup we explicitly construct a class of gravitational instantons generalizing Witten’s bubble of nothing.

Moduli stabilization in type IIB orientifolds at h2,1 = 50
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study moduli stabilization in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory with O3- and O7-planes. We consider a Calabi-Yau three-fold with Hodge number h 2,1 = 50 and stabilize all axio-dilaton and complex-structure moduli by ...

Scaling limits of dS vacua and the swampland
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We discuss the properties of massive type IIA flux compactifications. In particular, we investigate in which case one can obtain dS vacua at large volume and small coupling.

New de Sitter solutions of 10d type IIB supergravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We find and study 17 new de Sitter solutions of ten-dimensional (10d) type IIB supergravity with intersecting D 5-branes and orientifold O 5-planes, as well as a new Minkowski one.

Systematics of type IIB moduli stabilisation with odd axions
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Moduli stabilisation in superstring compactifications on Calabi-Yau orientifolds remains a key challenge in the search for realistic string vacua.

The tadpole conjecture at large complex-structure
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The tadpole conjecture by Bena, Blåbäck, Graña and Lüst effectively states that for string-theory compactifications with a large number of complex-structure moduli, not all of these moduli can be stabilized by fluxes.
