The landscape and the swampland of O(3,3) gauged supergravities

Mariana Graña, Diego Perugini

Compactifications of string theory on group manifolds with fluxes, performed via the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism, give rise to gauged supergravities. Using double field theory, this p…

EFTs with Symmetric Moduli Spaces: the Landscape and the Swampland

Stephanie Baines, Veronica Collazuol, Bernardo Fraiman +2

The Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC) states that, for any infinite-distance limit in the moduli space of a quantum gravity effective field theory (EFT), there should exist an in…

Tadpole conjecture in non-geometric backgrounds

Katrin Becker, Nathan Brady, Mariana Graña +3

Calabi-Yau compactifications have typically a large number of complex structure and/or Kähler moduli that have to be stabilised in phenomenologically-relevant vacua. The former can…

Non-Supersymmetric Heterotic Strings on a Circle

Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña, Héctor Parra De Freitas +1

Motivated by a recent construction of non-supersymmetric , we revisit the heterotic string compactified on a torus. The string one-loop potential…

Tadpoles and Gauge Symmetries

Andreas P. Braun, Bernardo Fraiman, Mariana Graña +2

The tadpole conjecture proposes that complex structure moduli stabilisation by fluxes that have low tadpole charge can be realised only at special points in moduli space, leading g…

Trustworthy de Sitter compactifications of string theory: a comprehensive review

Iosif Bena, Mariana Graña, Thomas Van Riet

We attempt to review all trustworthy and well-controlled de Sitter compactifications of string theory.
