Strings on Bubbling Geometries
Hai Lin, Alexander Morisse, Jonathan P. Shock
We study gauge theory operators which take the form of a product of a trace with a Schur polynomial, and their string theory duals. These states represent strings excited on bubbli…
The Fate of Nearly Supersymmetric Vacua
Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia, Alexander Morisse
Supersymmetric vacua are stable. It is interesting to ask: how long-lived are vacua which are nearly supersymmetric? This question is relevant if our universe is approximately supe…
Metastable Domains of the Landscape
Michael Dine, Guido Festuccia, Alexander Morisse +1
We argue that the vast majority of flux vacua with small cosmological constant are unstable to rapid decay to a big crunch. Exceptions are states with large compactification volume…
IIA moduli stabilization with badly broken supersymmetry
Michael Dine, Alexander Morisse, Assaf Shomer +1
Scherk-Schwarz compactification in string theory can be defined as orbifolding by an R symmetry, a symmetry that acts differently on bosons and fermions. Such a symmetry can arise…
Towards a quantum theory of de Sitter space
T. Banks, B. Fiol, A. Morisse
We describe progress towards constructing a quantum theory of de Sitter space in four dimensions. In particular we indicate how both particle states and Schwarzschild de Sitter bla…
Moduli Decays and Gravitinos
Michael Dine, Ryuichiro Kitano, Alexander Morisse +1
One proposed solution of the moduli problem of string cosmology requires that the moduli are quite heavy, their decays reheating the universe to temperatures above the scale of nuc…
