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…
Dark bubble cosmology and the equivalence principle
Ivano Basile, Alessandro Borys, Joaquin Masias
The main goal of string phenomenology is to find realistic models of particle physics and cosmology within string theory. Dark bubble cosmology is an alternative to string compacti…
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…
Corrections to the CRV pattern
Ivano Basile, Georgina Staudt
We investigate a pattern in the string landscape recently discovered by Castellano, Ruiz and Valenzuela, extending the analysis to subleading order in some calculable infinite-dist…
Dynamical dark energy in 0'B braneworlds
Ivano Basile, Alessandro Borys, Joaquin Masias
We build a novel realization of dark bubble cosmology in non-supersymmetric string theory. Among the simplest models in ten dimensions, the type 0'B orientifold is the unique optio…
