Non-supersymmetric heterotic strings on
Ivano Basile, Daniel Robbins, Hassaan Saleem
We analyze the stability properties of a family of anti-de Sitter flux compactifications of the tachyon-free non-supersymmetric heterotic string in ten dimensions. In contrast with…
UV/IR relations from the worldsheet
Christian Aoufia, Ivano Basile, Giorgio Leone +1
We derive universal scaling relations for the low-energy effective action of string theory, connecting the vacuum energy and gauge couplings to higher-derivative Wilson coefficient…
Higher-Spin and Higher-Point Constraints on Stringy Amplitudes
Ivano Basile, Grant N. Remmen, Georgina Staudt
We employ multiparticle factorization to constrain deformations of tree-level open string amplitudes. Assuming minimal degeneracy among intermediate states of the same spin up thro…
Non-supersymmetric branes and discrete topological terms
Ivano Basile, Vittorio Larotonda
In a recent work, Tachikawa and Zhang proved the existence of a discrete topological term in the unique non-supersymmetric heterotic string with no tachyons in ten dimensions. This…
Instabilities in scale-separated Casimir vacua
Miquel Aparici, Ivano Basile, Nicolò Risso
Parametric scale separation is notoriously difficult to achieve in flux compactifications of gravitational effective theories. An appealing alternative to conventional Freund-Rubin…
Center Symmetry Breaking in Calabi--Yau Compactifications
Ivano Basile, Pouya Golmohammadi
It is widely believed that global symmetries must be broken in Quantum Gravity. This includes higher-form symmetries, which are commonplace in supergravity coupled to vector multip…
