de Sitter Minima from M theory and String theory
Niccolò Cribiori, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1
We study M-theory compactification on in the presence of a seven-flux, metric fluxes and KK monopoles. The effective four-dimensional supergravity…
Mass Production of IIA and IIB dS Vacua
Niccolò Cribiori, Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde +1
We describe several applications of the recently proposed mass production procedure, where multiple moduli are stabilized in a dS vacuum, in supergravity models inspired by string…
Uplifting Anti-D6-brane
Niccolò Cribiori, Renata Kallosh, Christoph Roupec +1
A simple, KKLT-like construction of de Sitter vacua in type IIA string theory is presented in an STU model with guidance from string theory U-duality and with an uplifting anti-D6-…
The 2D Volkov-Akulov model as a deformation
Niccolò Cribiori, Fotis Farakos, Rikard von Unge
We show that the two-dimensional Volkov-Akulov action that describes the spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry is a deformation of a free fermionic theory. Our…
The supersymmetric anti-D3-brane action in KKLT
Niccolò Cribiori, Christoph Roupec, Timm Wrase +1
An anti-D3-brane plays a crucial role in the construction of semi-realistic cosmological models in string theory. Part of its action provides an uplift term that has been used to l…
No classical (anti-)de Sitter solutions with O8-planes
Niccolò Cribiori, Daniel Junghans
It was recently proposed that type IIA string theory may allow classical de Sitter solutions with O8-planes as the only localized sources. We show that such solutions are incompati…
Non-linear realisations in global and local supersymmetry
Niccolò Cribiori
The subject of this thesis is the construction and the study of four-dimensional effective theories with spontaneously broken and non-linearly realised global and local supersymmet…
