Non-supersymmetric M-theory vacua and dark bubbles
Vincent Menet, Alessandro Tomasiello, Vincent Van Hemelryck
An expanding bubble in AdS has a dS geometry; the dark bubble scenario explores whether this can be our Universe. Motivated by this, we consider new non-supersymmetric AdS$…
COMPOSITE-Stem
Kyle Waters, Lucas Nuzzi, Tadhg Looram +20
AI agents hold growing promise for accelerating scientific discovery; yet, a lack of frontier evaluations hinders adoption into real workflows. Expert-written benchmarks have prove…
5d Higgs branch and instanton magnetization
Amihay Hanany, Alessandro Tomasiello, Elias Van den Driessche
Higgs branches of 5d theories with flavours, whether at weak or strong coupling, are described by a pair of instantons transforming as pure spinors of . The…
Counting AdS Vacua
Zihni Kaan Baykara, Alessandro Tomasiello, Cumrun Vafa
We study the 'number' of AdS vacua with a UV cut off . It has been proposed that this number is finite. We find evidence that …
A weakly non-abelian decay channel
Vincent Menet, Alessandro Tomasiello
We investigate non-abelian branes in curved space. We discuss solutions to the equations of motion of the transverse scalars when they are constant along the world-volume direction…
New punctures for six-dimensional compactifications
Fabio Apruzzi, Noppadol Mekareeya, Brandon Robinson +1
Six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) give rise to four-dimensional (4d) ones when compactified on Riemann surfaces. In the case, this yields th…
