D-Brane Chemistry
C. P. Burgess, N. E. Grandi, F. Quevedo +1
We study several different kinds of bound states built from D-branes and orientifolds. These states are to atoms what branonium - the bound state of a brane and its anti-brane - is…
de Sitter String Vacua from Supersymmetric D-terms
C. P. Burgess, R. Kallosh, F. Quevedo
We propose a new mechanism for obtaining de Sitter vacua in type IIB string theory compactified on (orientifolded) Calabi-Yau manifolds similar to those recently studied by Kachru,…
Warped Brane Worlds in Six Dimensional Supergravity
Y. Aghababaie, C. P. Burgess, J. M. Cline +5
We present warped compactification solutions of six-dimensional supergravity, which are generalizations of the Randall-Sundrum warped brane world to codimension two and to a supers…
Towards a Naturally Small Cosmological Constant from Branes in 6D Supergravity
Y. Aghababaie, C. P. Burgess, S. L. Parameswaran +1
We investigate the possibility of self-tuning of the effective 4D cosmological constant in 6D supergravity, to see whether it could naturally be of order 1/r^4 when compactified on…
