Heterotic Strings on , Nikulin involutions and M-theory
Bobby Samir Acharya, Gerardo Aldazabal, Anamaría Font +2
We first describe the low energy dynamics of ten dimensional heterotic supergravity compactified on the smooth, flat 3-manifold , without supersymmetry…
A Gravitino Distance Conjecture
Alberto Castellano, Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herraez +1
We conjecture that in a consistent supergravity theory with non-vanishing gravitino mass, the limit is at infinite distance. In particular one can write $M_{…
Exploring the landscape of CHL strings on T^d
Anamaria Font, Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña +2
Compactifications of the heterotic string on special T^d/Z_2 orbifolds realize a landscape of string models with 16 supercharges and a gauge group on the left-moving sector of redu…
Stringy Tachyonic Instabilities of Non-Supersymmetric Ricci Flat Backgrounds
Bobby Samir Acharya, Gerardo Aldazabal, Eduardo Andrés +3
Superstring/M-theory compactified on compact Ricci flat manifolds have recently been conjectured to exhibit instabilities whenever the metrics do not have special holonomy. We use…
Exploring the landscape of heterotic strings on T^d
Anamaría Font, Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña +2
Compactifications of the heterotic string on T^d are the simplest, yet rich enough playgrounds to uncover swampland ideas: the U(1)^{d+16} left-moving gauge symmetry gets enhanced…
On scale separation in type II AdS flux vacua
Anamaría Font, Alvaro Herráez, Luis E. Ibáñez
We study the separation of AdS and Kaluza-Klein (KK) scales in type II 4d AdS orientifold vacua. We first address this problem in toroidal/orbifold type IIA vacua with metric fluxe…
