Brane Nucleation in Supersymmetric Models
Igor Bandos, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Kepa Sousa +1
This paper explores the process of vacuum decay in supersymmetric models related to flux compactifications. In particular, we describe these instabilities within supersymmetric Lag…
Symmetric fluxes and small tadpoles
Thibaut Coudarchet, Fernando Marchesano, David Prieto +1
The analysis of type IIB flux vacua on warped Calabi--Yau orientifolds becomes considerably involved for a large number of complex structure fields. We however show that, for a qua…
Analytics of type IIB flux vacua and their mass spectra
Thibaut Coudarchet, Fernando Marchesano, David Prieto +1
We analyze the tree-level potential of type IIB flux compactifications in warped Calabi-Yau orientifolds, in regions of weak coupling and moderately large complex structure. In thi…
Universal Class of Type-IIB Flux Vacua with Analytic Mass Spectrum
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Kepa Sousa, Mikel A. Urkiola +1
We report on a new class of flux vacua generically present in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type-IIB string theory. At these vacua, the mass spectrum of the complete axio-dilaton…
Towards a complete mass spectrum of type-IIB flux vacua at large complex structure
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Kepa Sousa, Mikel A. Urkiola +1
The large number of moduli fields arising in a generic string theory compactification makes a complete computation of the low energy effective theory infeasible. A common strategy…
Slepian models for Gaussian Random Landscapes
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Kepa Sousa, Mikel A. Urkiola
Phenomenologically interesting scalar potentials are highly atypical in generic random landscapes. We develop the mathematical techniques to generate constrained random potentials,…
Racetrack Potentials and the de Sitter Swampland Conjectures
Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Mikel A. Urkiola, Jeremy M. Wachter
We show that one can find de Sitter critical points (saddle points) in models of flux compactification of Type IIB String Theory without any uplifting terms and in the presence of…
