Gravity Decoupling and Axionic Shift Symmetries

Christian Aoufia, Gonzalo F. Casas, Fernando Marchesano

We analyse the rôle of approximate axionic shift symmetries in gravity-decoupling limits arising in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications. Associated with each shift symmetry there…

Curvature divergences and gravity decoupling in Calabi--Yau rigid limits

Alberto Castellano, Fernando Marchesano, Lorenzo Paoloni

Four-dimensional supergravity theories become rigid in gravity-decoupling limits. We study this effect for type II string compactifications on general Calabi--Yau m…

Curvature divergences in 5d supergravity

Alejandro Blanco, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Melotti

We study the scalar curvature of the vector moduli space of 5d supergravities, obtained by compactifying M-theory on a Calabi--Yau three-fold. We find that …

The Moduli Space Curvature and the Weak Gravity Conjecture

Alberto Castellano, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Melotti +1

We unveil a remarkable interplay between rigid field theories (RFTs), charge-to-mass ratios and scalar curvature divergences in the vector multiplet modu…

Asymptotic curvature divergences and non-gravitational theories

Fernando Marchesano, Luca Melotti, Max Wiesner

We analyse divergences of the scalar curvature of the vector multiplet moduli space of type IIA string theory compactified on a Calabi--Yau , along infinite-distance large v…

On small Dirac Neutrino Masses in String Theory

Gonzalo F. Casas, Luis E. Ibáñez, Fernando Marchesano

We study how tiny Dirac neutrino masses consistent with experimental constraints can arise in string theory SM-like vacua. We use as a laboratory 4d type IIA Calabi--Y…
