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.

On the Picture Dependence of Ramond-Ramond Cohomology [PDF]
, 1997 Closed string physical states are BRST cohomology classes computed on the space of states annihilated by $b_0^-$. Since $b_0^-$ does not commute with the operations of picture changing, BRST cohomologies at different pictures need not agree.

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,

Supersymmetry preserving and breaking degenerate vacua, and radiative moduli stabilization [PDF]
, 2017 We propose a new type of moduli stabilization scenario where the supersymmetric and supersymmetry-breaking minima are degenerate at the leading level. The inclusion of the loop-corrections originating from the matter fields resolves this degeneracy of ...

Supergravity solitons and non-perturbative superstrings [PDF]
, 1995 A review is given of the implications of supersymmetric black holes for the non-perturbative formulation of toroidally compactified superstrings, with particular emphasis on symmetry enhancement at special vacua and S-duality of the heterotic string ...

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

De Sitter vacua in no-scale supergravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 No-scale supergravity is the appropriate general framework for low-energy effective field theories derived from string theory. The simplest no-scale Kähler potential with a single chiral field corresponds to a compactification to flat Minkowski space ...

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.

A universal tachyon in nearly no-scale de Sitter compactifications
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We investigate de Sitter solutions of N=1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ supergravity with an F-term scalar potential near a no-scale Minkowski point, as they may in particular arise from flux compactifications in string theory.

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 57, Issue 10, Page 2903-2974, October 2025.Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...
