Banks-Zaks Stabilisation of Non-SUSY Strings
Steven Abel, Ivano Basile, Viktor Matyas
It appears to be difficult within string theory to obtain genuine scale separation between spacetime and the internal sector. In this paper, we propose a novel mechanism for scale-…
Dark dimension with (little) strings attached
Ivano Basile, Dieter Lust
We motivate a relation between dark energy and the scale of new physics in weakly coupled string theory. This mixing between infrared and ultraviolet physics leads to a unique corn…
Species scale, worldsheet CFTs and emergent geometry
Christian Aoufia, Ivano Basile, Giorgio Leone
We study infinite-distance limits in the moduli space of perturbative string vacua. The remarkable interplay of string dualities seems to determine a highly non-trivial dichotomy,…
Minimal Black Holes and Species Thermodynamics
Ivano Basile, Niccolò Cribiori, Dieter Lust +1
The species scale provides a lower bound on the shortest possible length that can be probed in gravitational effective theories. It may be defined by the size of the minimal black…
