Bounds on Field Range for Slowly Varying Positive Potentials
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In the context of quantum gravitational systems, we place bounds on regions in field space with slowly varying positive potentials. Using the fact that , where is…
Beyond Large Complex Structure: Quantized Periods and Boundary Data for One-Modulus Singularities
Brice Bastian, Damian van de Heisteeg, Lorenz Schlechter
We study periods in an integral basis near all possible singularities in one-dimensional complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Near large complex structure poin…
Bounds on Species Scale and the Distance Conjecture
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner
The species scale serves as a UV cutoff in the gravitational sector of an EFT and can depend on the moduli of the theory as the spectrum of the theory varies. We a…
Asymptotic String Compactifications; Periods, flux potentials, and the swampland
Damian van de Heisteeg
In this thesis we have studied various applications of asymptotic Hodge theory in string compactifications. This mathematical framework captures how physical couplings of the resul…
Moduli Stabilization in Asymptotic Flux Compactifications
Thomas W. Grimm, Erik Plauschinn, Damian van de Heisteeg
We present a novel strategy to systematically study complex-structure moduli stabilization in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. In particular, we determine vacua in any…
Engineering Small Flux Superpotentials and Mass Hierarchies
Brice Bastian, Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg
We study the stabilization of complex structure moduli in Type IIB flux compactifications by using recent general results about the form of the superpotential and Kähler potential…
