On matched asymptotic expansions of backreacting metastable anti-branes
Nam Nguyen, Vasilis Niarchos
We construct analytically a perturbative supergravity solution that captures the backreaction of a metastable state of anti-branes in the background of a particular modification of…
An effective theory for higher-dimensional black holes and applications to metastable antibranes
Nam Nguyen
Despite their consequential applications, metastable states of antibranes in warped throats are not yet fully understood. In this thesis, we provide new information on various aspe…
Comments on the stability of the KPV state
Nam Nguyen
Using the blackfold approach, we study the classical stability of the KPV (Kachru-Pearson-Verlinde) state of anti-D3 branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler throat. With regard…
Thermal transitions of metastable M-branes
Jay Armas, Nam Nguyen, Vasilis Niarchos +1
We use blackfold methods to analyse the properties of putative supergravity solutions in M-theory that describe the backreaction of polarised anti-M2 branes (namely, M5 branes wrap…
