On Quantum Obstructions in Type IIA Orientifolds

Lukas Kaufmann, Timo Weigand, Max Wiesner

Quantum corrections can severely modify or even remove classical infinite distance limits in four-dimensional gravity theories with minimal N=1 supersymmetry. In this note we study…

Quantum obstructions for infinite distance limits -- Part I: obstructions

Lukas Kaufmann, Jeroen Monnee, Timo Weigand +1

We analyse quantum obstructions to classical infinite distance limits in four-dimensional string compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry. Such quantum effects signal a severe depa…

Quantum obstructions for infinite distance limits -- Part II: Kähler obstructions

Lukas Kaufmann, Jeroen Monnee, Timo Weigand +1

We continue our analysis of quantum corrections in the complex structure moduli space of four-dimensional Type IIB/F-theory compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry. We find that l…

Smooth String Vacua in a Gravitationally Non-perturbative Regime

Mirjam Cvetič, Max Wiesner

The strong coupling regime of four-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric vacua of the heterotic string is analyzed from a dual domain wall perspective. Using modular invariance, we comput…

Towards the Non-Perturbative Completion of 4d N=1 Effective Theories of Gravity

Gonzalo F. Casas, Max Wiesner

We show that four-dimensional effective theories of gravity obtained from string compactifications require a non-perturbative completion, as additional light states…

K-Points and Type IIB/Heterotic Duality with NS5-Branes

Jeroen Monnee, Timo Weigand, Max Wiesner

We revisit type II limits in the vector multiplet moduli space of compactifications of Type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds. These limits are special because they ca…
