Consistency conditions for O-plane unsmearing from second-order perturbation theory
Maxim Emelin
Scale-separated AdS compactifications of string theory can be constructed at the two-derivative supergravity level in the presence of smeared orientifold planes. The unsmearing cor…
A note on integrability loss in fuzzball geometries
Maxim Emelin, Stefano Massai
We study the dynamics of certain string configurations in a class of fivebrane supertube backgrounds. In the decoupling limit of the fivebranes, these solutions are known to admit…
Obstacles for dS in Supersymmetric Theories
Maxim Emelin
We present two types of obstacles for constructing de Sitter space in supersymmetric theories that appear as effective theories of quantum gravity. The first obstacle concerns de S…
Anti-brane uplift instability from goldstino condensation
Gianguido Dall'Agata, Maxim Emelin, Fotis Farakos +1
We investigate the possible appearance of composite states of the goldstino in models with four-dimensional non-linear supersymmetry and we provide a description of their dynamics…
O6-plane backreaction on scale-separated Type IIA AdS vacua
Maxim Emelin, Fotis Farakos, George Tringas
We evaluate the backreaction of O6-planes in scale-separated flux vacua of massive Type IIA. Using the appropriate flux scaling we show that the corrections to the v…
The unbearable lightness of charged gravitini
Gianguido Dall'Agata, Maxim Emelin, Fotis Farakos +1
We prove that charged gravitini cannot have parametrically small or vanishing Lagrangian mass in de Sitter vacua of extended supergravity while respecting the magnetic weak gravity…
