Shedding black hole light on the emergent string conjecture
Ivano Basile, Dieter Lust, Carmine Montella
Asymptotically massless towers of species are ubiquitous in the string landscape when infinite-distance limits are approached. Due to the remarkable properties of string dualities,…
Shedding light on dark bubble cosmology
Ivano Basile, Ulf Danielsson, Suvendu Giri +1
Dark bubble cosmology is an alternative paradigm to compactification, which can circumvent issues of moduli stabilization and scale separation. In this paper we investigate how ele…
Anomaly constraints for heterotic strings and supergravity in six dimensions
Ivano Basile, Giorgio Leone
The landscape of six-dimensional supergravities is dramatically constrained by the cancellation of gauge and gravitational anomalies, but the full extent of its implications has no…
Global anomalies & bordism of non-supersymmetric strings
Ivano Basile, Arun Debray, Matilda Delgado +1
The three tachyon-free non-supersymmetric string theories in ten dimensions provide a handle on quantum gravity away from the supersymmetric lamppost. However, they have not been s…
Domain walls and distances in discrete landscapes
Ivano Basile, Carmine Montella
We explore a notion of distance between vacua of a discrete landscape that takes into account scalar potentials and fluxes via transitions mediated by domain walls. Such settings c…
A note on the admissibility of complex BTZ metrics
Ivano Basile, Andrea Campoleoni, Joris Raeymaekers
We perform a nontrivial check of Witten's recently proposed admissibility criterion for complex metrics. We consider the `quasi-Euclidean' metrics obtained from continuing the BTZ…
