Non-SUSY fractional branes
Stanislav Kuperstein, Brecht Truijen, Thomas Van Riet
We consider a simplified Ansatz for supergravity solutions describing fractional p-brane solutions (throat geometries supported by fluxes) for various p. For p=3 the Ansatz capture…
Giant Tachyons in the Landscape
Iosif Bena, Mariana Graña, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the dynamics of localized and fully backreacting anti-D3 branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler geometry. We use a non-supersymmetric version of the Polchinski-Strass…
Tachyonic Anti-M2 Branes
Iosif Bena, Mariana Graña, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the dynamics of anti-M2 branes in a warped Stenzel solution with M2 charges dissolved in fluxes by taking into account their full backreaction on the geometry. The resulti…
