Nothing really matters

open access: yesJournal 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.

On supersymmetric AdS4 orientifold vacua

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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

Moduli stabilization in type IIB orientifolds at h2,1 = 50

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

New de Sitter solutions of 10d type IIB supergravity

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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.

On the stability of string theory vacua

open access: yesJournal 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.

Emergence of Warm Inflation in Curved Space‐Time between Accelerating Branes

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
It appears that having our own brane to somehow interact with other branes could give rise to quite an interesting system and that interaction could lead to some observable effects. We consider the question of whether or not these signatures of interaction between the branes can be observed. To answer this question, we investigate the effect induced by

Inflation with a graceful exit in a random landscape

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We develop a stochastic description of small-field inflationary histories with a graceful exit in a random potential whose Hessian is a Gaussian random matrix as a model of the unstructured part of the string landscape.

The gravitational sector of 2d (0, 2) F-theory vacua

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fivefolds give rise to two-dimensional N = (0, 2) supersymmetric field theories coupled to gravity. We explore the dilaton supergravity defined by the moduli sector of such compactifications.
