Type IIA on Spin(7) manifolds with fluxes
Niccolò Cribiori, Arda Hasar, Thomas Van Riet +1
We initiate a systematic study of compactifications of type II string theory to two dimensions on Ricci-flat spaces with fluxes and sources. We derive universal constraints on such…
The IKKT renormalization group flow is IIB: toward zero-d holography
Xiangwen Guan, Joel Karlsson, Sébastien Reymond +1
Supergravity solutions describing stacks of D-branes with feature a non-constant dilaton profile, which is holographically mapped to the running of the SYM coupling in…
End-of-the-World Singularities: The Good, the Bad, and the Heated-up
José Calderón-Infante, Gongrui Cheng, Alvaro Herráez +1
We revisit codimension-one End-of-the-World curvature singularities that drive scalars to infinite distance in field-space and have appeared in the context of dynamical cobordisms.…
Visions in Quantum Gravity
Luca Buoninfante, Benjamin Knorr, K. Sravan Kumar +36
To deepen our understanding of Quantum Gravity and its connections with black holes and cosmology, building a common language and exchanging ideas across different approaches is cr…
Scale separation, rolling solutions and entropy bounds
David Andriot, Niccolò Cribiori, Thomas Van Riet
We revisit scale separation for compactifications of ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity. For cosmological solutions rolling down flux-generated potentials, we observe that sc…
Black Holes, Moduli Stabilisation and the Swampland
Matilda Delgado, Sébastien Reymond, Thomas Van Riet
In theories with moduli, extremal black holes behave such that for generic initial conditions, the distance traveled by the scalars from infinity to the horizon can grow with the s…
