Algorithmically solving the Tadpole Problem
Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, Mariana Graña +1
The extensive computer-aided search applied in [arXiv:2010.10519] to find the minimal charge sourced by the fluxes that stabilize all the (flux-stabilizable) moduli of a smooth K3x…

The Tadpole Problem
Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, Mariana Graña +1
We examine the mechanism of moduli stabilization by fluxes in the limit of a large number of moduli. We conjecture that one cannot stabilize all complex-structure moduli in F-theor…

Antibranes don't go black
I. Bena, J. Blåbäck, U. H. Danielsson +1
When D-branes are inserted in flux backgrounds of opposite charge, the resulting solution has a certain singularity in the fluxes. Recently it has been argued, using numerical solu…
