CYTools: A Software Package for Analyzing Calabi-Yau Manifolds
Mehmet Demirtas, Andres Rios-Tascon, Liam McAllister
We provide a user's guide to version 1.0 of the software package CYTools, which we designed to compute the topological data of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties. CYTools…
Superradiance in String Theory
Viraf M. Mehta, Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long +3
We perform an extensive analysis of the statistics of axion masses and interactions in compactifications of type IIB string theory, and we show that black hole superradiance exclud…
Superradiance Exclusions in the Landscape of Type IIB String Theory
Viraf M. Mehta, Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long +3
We obtain constraints from black hole superradiance in an ensemble of compactifications of type IIB string theory. The constraints require knowing only the axion masses and self-in…
Bounding the Kreuzer-Skarke Landscape
Mehmet Demirtas, Liam McAllister, Andres Rios-Tascon
We study Calabi-Yau threefolds with large Hodge numbers by constructing and counting triangulations of reflexive polytopes. By counting points in the associated secondary polytopes…
Vacua with Small Flux Superpotential
Mehmet Demirtas, Manki Kim, Liam McAllister +1
We describe a method for finding flux vacua of type IIB string theory in which the Gukov-Vafa-Witten superpotential is exponentially small. We present an example with $W_0 \approx…
Minimal Surfaces and Weak Gravity
Mehmet Demirtas, Cody Long, Liam McAllister +1
We show that the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) implies a nontrivial upper bound on the volumes of the minimal-volume cycles in certain homology classes that admit no calibrated rep…
