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…
Physics and Geometry of Complex Structure Limits in Type IIB Calabi-Yau Compactifications
Jeroen Monnee, Timo Weigand, Max Wiesner
We provide a detailed geometric and physical interpretation of infinite distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of Type IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds…
Emergent Strings in Type IIB Calabi--Yau Compactifications
Bjoern Hassfeld, Jeroen Monnee, Timo Weigand +1
We study infinite distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of Type IIB compactifications on Calabi--Yau threefolds, in light of the Emergent String Conjecture. We focu…
