On the branes behind scale-separated AdS flux vacua

Álvaro Arboleya, Adolfo Guarino, Clara Roldán-Domínguez +1

We investigate the brane origin of supersymmetric and scale-separated AdS flux vacua arising in a class of type IIB orientifold reductions with G-structure. First, using th…

Taxonomy of type II orientifold flux vacua in 3D

Álvaro Arboleya, Gabriele Casagrande, Adolfo Guarino +1

We complete the study initiated in \cite{Arboleya:2024vnp} and investigate three-dimensional (3D) flux vacua of type II orientifold reductions on twisted tori that include a single…

On type IIB AdS flux vacua with scale separation and integer conformal dimensions

Álvaro Arboleya, Adolfo Guarino, Matteo Morittu

We review recent progress in constructing type IIB AdS flux vacua that exhibit parametrically-controlled scale separation and come along with integer-valued conformal dimensi…

Type II orientifold flux vacua in 3D

Álvaro Arboleya, Adolfo Guarino, Matteo Morittu

We initiate a systematic study of type II orientifold flux vacua in three dimensions including gauge and metric fluxes, O-planes and D-branes. We derive simple flux models (we dub…

Open strings in type IIB AdS flux vacua

Álvaro Arboleya, Adolfo Guarino, Matteo Morittu +1

The role of open strings is investigated in the context of AdS flux vacua arising from type IIB orientifold reductions. On the one hand, contrary to expectations, the perturb…

Euclidean flows, solitons and wormholes in AdS from M-theory

Andrés Anabalón, Álvaro Arboleya, Adolfo Guarino

Multi-parametric families of non-supersymmetric EAdS flows as well as asymptotically EAdS solitons and wormholes are constructed within the four-dimensional $\textrm{SO…
