The Art of Networking: Networks of Trivalent 10d Heterotic Junctions
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius +2
We initiate the study of networks of 10d string theories connected by junctions implied by the cobordism conjecture. Focusing on the recently constructed junction of the three 10d…
The Art of Branching: Cobordism Junctions of 10d String Theories
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius +1
We describe the explicit construction of configurations of several 10d string theories joining at a 9d junction, providing a dynamical realization of cobordisms between multiple 10…
HoÅava-Witten theory on as type 0 orientifold
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Salvatore Raucci +2
We investigate dualities between quotients of recently proposed compactifications of M-theory on `quantum geometries' of the form ${\mathbf{S}}^1\vee{\mathbf{S}}^1…
What IIB looks IIA string: String Cobordisms via Non-Compact CFTs
Edoardo Anastasi, Miguel Montero, Angel M. Uranga +1
The Swampland Cobordism Conjecture predicts the existence of end-of-the-world branes for every consistent Quantum Gravity theory, and domain walls connecting the Landscape. A pertu…
Relative Quantum Gravity: Localized Gravity and the Swampland
Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius, Jesús Huertas +2
We perform a systematic study of the applicability of swampland constraints to theories of localized gravity. We find that these gravity theories can violate swampland constraints,…
