A Gravitino Distance Conjecture
Alberto Castellano, Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herraez +1
We conjecture that in a consistent supergravity theory with non-vanishing gravitino mass, the limit is at infinite distance. In particular one can write $M_{…
A Note on Membrane Interactions and the Scalar potential
Alvaro Herraez
We compute the tree-level potential between two parallel -branes due to the exchange of scalars, gravitons and -forms. In the case of BPS membranes in 4d …
AdS-phobia, the WGC, the Standard Model and Supersymmetry
Eduardo Gonzalo, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
It has been recently argued that an embedding of the SM into a consistent theory of quantum gravity may imply important constraints on the mass of the lightest neutrino and the cos…
The Type IIA Flux Potential, 4-forms and Freed-Witten anomalies
Alvaro Herraez, Luis E. Ibanez, Fernando Marchesano +1
We compute the full classical 4d scalar potential of type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of fluxes and D6-branes. We show that it can be written as a bilinear form $V…
