Massive type 0A string theory and M-theory
Niccolò Cribiori, Andriana Makridou, Salvatore Raucci
We propose an M-theory origin for the two massive deformations of type 0A string theory by extending Hull's realization of massive type IIA in the context of a recent proposal for…
Non-supersymmetric dualities beyond the gauge algebra
Bernardo Fraiman, Vittorio Larotonda, Ling Lin +1
We provide a testing ground for dualities of non-supersymmetric type 0 orientifolds by finding the global forms of their gauge groups. As an example, we consider the Bergman--Gaber…
Hořava-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…
Heterotic Ouroboros
Chiara Altavista, Salvatore Raucci, Angel M. Uranga +1
M-theory on has recently been proposed to yield, via quotients, ten-dimensional non-supersymmetric string theories. We revisit the construction t…
Alice in Warpland: KK modes, Warped Compactifications and the Swampland
Salvatore Raucci, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of Kaluza-Klein (KK) towers in warped compactifications to Minkowski space. Focusing on the overall decompactification limit, we derive the s…
AdS vacua of non-supersymmetric strings
Salvatore Raucci, Alessandro Tomasiello
Few vacua are known for the three tachyon-free non-supersymmetric string theories. We find new classes of AdS backgrounds by focusing on spaces where the equations of motion reduce…
Aspects of strings without spacetime supersymmetry
Giorgio Leone, Salvatore Raucci
String theory relies on spacetime supersymmetry to guarantee the existence of stable vacua. In this review, we survey two features of non-supersymmetric strings that challenge both…
Spacetime aspects of non-supersymmetric strings
Salvatore Raucci
The consistency of string theory as a theory of gravity does not rely on the presence of spacetime supersymmetry; however, its absence leads to the emergence of tadpole diagrams in…
Brane-Like Solutions and Other Non-Supersymmetric Vacua
J. Mourad, S. Raucci, A. Sagnotti
After recasting the standard charged and uncharged brane profiles in the harmonic gauge, we explore solutions with the same isometries where the potentials of te…
Brane Profiles of Non-Supersymmetric Strings
J. Mourad, S. Raucci, A. Sagnotti
We connect the indications of 2D CFT for branes in non-supersymmetric strings to actual spacetime profiles, taking the bulk tadpole potentials into account. We find exact solutions…
Fake supersymmetry with tadpole potentials
Salvatore Raucci
We study tadpole potentials of non-supersymmetric strings, resorting to a first-order formalism known in the literature as fake supersymmetry. We present a detailed analysis for va…
Revisiting Dudas-Mourad compactifications
Ivano Basile, Salvatore Raucci, Sylvain Thomée
Superstring theories in ten dimensions allow spacetime supersymmetry breaking at the string scale at the expense of controlled Minkowski backgrounds. The next-to-maximally symmetri…
On New Vacua of non-Supersymmetric Strings
Salvatore Raucci
We describe two new types of vacua for ten-dimensional string models without supersymmetry, in which dilaton potentials are compensated by constant electric or magnetic fields. The…
On Codimension-one Vacua and String Theory
Salvatore Raucci
We investigate codimension-one vacua arising from low energy effective actions inspired by string theory, with an eye to their consistency when localized sources are allowed in the…
