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.

The Exact MSSM Spectrum from String Theory [PDF]
, 2005 We show the existence of realistic vacua in string theory whose observable sector has exactly the matter content of the MSSM. This is achieved by compactifying the E_8 x E_8 heterotic superstring on a smooth Calabi-Yau threefold with an SU(4) gauge ...

Large field ranges from aligned and misaligned winding
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We search for effective axions with super-Planckian decay constants in type IIB string models. We argue that such axions can be realised as long winding trajectories in complex-structure moduli space by an appropriate flux choice.

String Theory - From Physics to Metaphysics [PDF]
, 2006 Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence it did not make any empirically testable predictions.

Abelian F-theory models with charge-3 and charge-4 matter
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 This paper analyzes U(1) F-theory models admitting matter with charges q = 3 and 4. First, we systematically derive a q = 3 construction that generalizes the previous q = 3 examples.

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

Two-dimensional superstrings and the supersymmetric matrix model [PDF]
JHEP 0404 (2004) 015, 2003 We present evidence that the supersymmetric matrix model of Marinari and Parisi represents the world-line theory of N unstable D-particles in type II superstring theory in two dimensions. This identification suggests that the matrix model gives a holographic description of superstrings in a two-dimensional black hole geometry.

Uplifts of maximal supergravities and transitions to non-geometric vacua
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We describe a new procedure to obtain consistent backgrounds that uplift vacua and deformations of various maximal gauged supergravities by taking a known solution and performing singular limits along the moduli space of the corresponding 4-dimensional ...

Dark Dimension With (Little) Strings Attached
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract A relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory is motivated. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corner for real‐world phenomenology: barring fine‐tunings, the authors are naturally led to the “dark dimension” scenario, a single mesoscopic extra dimension of micron

Mirror symmetry for G 2-manifolds: twisted connected sums and dual tops
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Recently, at least 50 million of novel examples of compact G 2 holonomy manifolds have been constructed as twisted connected sums of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau threefolds.
