Non-supersymmetric non-tachyonic heterotic vacua with reduced rank in various dimensions
Carlo Angelantonj, Ioannis Florakis, Giorgio Leone +1
We construct rigid non-supersymmetric heterotic vacua with reduced rank and no tachyons in six and four dimensions. These configurations are based on asymmetric orbifold compactifi…
A Lightning Introduction to String Theory
Carlo Angelantonj, Ioannis Florakis
We give a lightning introduction to critical string theory, including the 26-dimensional bosonic string, the 10-dimensional superstrings and heterotic strings with and without spac…
Rigid Vacua with Brane Supersymmetry Breaking
C. Angelantonj, C. Condeescu, E. Dudas +1
We construct new string vacua featuring Brane Supersymmetry Breaking, based on orientifolds with planes and branes. Differen…
Tachyons and Misaligned Supersymmetry in Closed String Vacua
Carlo Angelantonj, Ioannis Florakis, Giorgio Leone
In a remarkable paper, Dienes discovered that the absence of physical tachyons in closed string theory is intimately related to oscillations in the net number of bosonic minus ferm…
Refined Topological Amplitudes from the -Background in String Theory
Carlo Angelantonj, Ignatios Antoniadis, Ioannis Florakis +1
It was recently shown that the = 2 string topological amplitudes in the heterotic weak coupling limit generate a six-dimensional Melvin space, providing a description…
String Defects, Supersymmetry and the Swampland
Carlo Angelantonj, Quentin Bonnefoy, Cezar Condeescu +1
Recently, Kim, Shiu and Vafa proposed general consistency conditions for six dimensional supergravity theories with minimal supersymmetry coming from couplings to strings. We test…
