Bare-Bones de Sitter
Iosif Bena, Emilian Dudas, Mariana Graña +2
We compute the supersymmetry-breaking three-form fluxes generated by the addition of anti-D3 branes at the tip of a Klebanov-Strassler throat. These fluxes give rise to nontrivial…
A toolkit for ortho-symplectic dualities
Sergio Benvenuti, Gabriele Lo Monaco
We propose new confining dualities in gauge theories with orthogonal gauge groups, with and without monopole superpotentials. Deriving some of those dualit…
Non-supersymmetric AdS and the swampland
Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Gabriele Lo Monaco +1
We discuss infinite families of non-supersymmetric AdS solutions in Type IIB string theory. They are siblings of supersymmetric solutions which are associated with 5-br…
Sequential deconfinement in gauge theories
Sergio Benvenuti, Ivan Garozzo, Gabriele Lo Monaco
We consider gauge theories with fundamental matter plus a single field in a rank- representation. Using iteratively a process of "deconfinement" of the…
Monopoles and dualities in quivers
Sergio Benvenuti, Ivan Garozzo, Gabriele Lo Monaco
Seiberg-like dualities in d quiver gauge theories with supercharges are investigated. We consider quivers made of various combinations of classical gauge groups , $S…
Oh, wait, O8 de Sitter may be unstable!
Iosif Bena, G. Bruno De Luca, Mariana Graña +1
We analyze the stability of four-dimensional de Sitter vacua constructed by compactifying massive Type IIA supergravity in the presence of two O8 sources [1]. When embedded in Stri…
On AdS stability
Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandra Gnecchi +2
AdS supersymmetric solutions in type IIA have been classified, and they are infinitely many. Moreover, every such solution has a non-supersymmetric sister. In this paper, we st…
Supersymmetric Indices of 3d S-fold SCFTs
Ivan Garozzo, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Noppadol Mekareeya +1
Enhancement of global symmetry and supersymmetry in the infrared is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum field theory. We investigate such phenomena in a large class of…
Entropy function from toric geometry
Antonio Amariti, Ivan Garozzo, Gabriele Lo Monaco
It has recently been claimed that a Cardy-like limit of the superconformal index of 4d SYM accounts for the entropy function, whose Legendre transform corresponds t…
Variations on S-fold CFTs
Ivan Garozzo, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Noppadol Mekareeya
A local SL(2,Z) transformation on the Type IIB brane configuration gives rise to an interesting class of superconformal field theories, known as the S-fold CFTs. Previously it has…
Holographic duals of 6d RG flows
G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandra Gnecchi, Gabriele Lo Monaco +1
A notable class of superconformal theories (SCFTs) in six dimensions is parameterized by an integer , an ADE group , and two nilpotent elements in . Nilpo…
The geometry of AdS in massive IIA
G. Bruno De Luca, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Niall T. Macpherson +2
The geometry of the , SO(4)--invariant, AdS solution of massive type IIA supergravity that uplifts from the vacuum of dyonic…
Cubic interactions of Maxwell-like higher spins
Dario Francia, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Karapet Mkrtchyan
We study the cubic vertices for Maxwell-like higher-spins in flat and (A)dS background spaces of any dimension. Reducibility of their free spectra implies that a single cubic verte…
