TASI Lectures on de Sitter Vacua

Liam McAllister, Andreas Schachner

These lectures provide a self-contained introduction to flux compactifications of type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau orientifolds. The first lecture begins with geometric foundat…

Bayesian inference on Calabi--Yau moduli spaces and the axiverse: experimental data meets string theory

Mudit Jain, Elijah Sheridan, David J. E. Marsh +3

We develop tools of Bayesian inference on the moduli space of Calabi--Yau (CY) manifolds. We sample from the invariant Weil--Petersson (WP) measure using Markov Chain Monte Carlo a…

A Fuzzy Axiverse from String Theory

Andreas Schachner

In this talk, I showcase models for fuzzy axion dark matter within the framework of type IIB string theory, focusing on axions originating from the Ramond-Ramond four-form in compa…

Fuzzy Axions and Associated Relics

Elijah Sheridan, Federico Carta, Naomi Gendler +6

We study fuzzy axion dark matter in type IIB string theory, for axions descending from the Ramond-Ramond four-form in compactifications on orientifolds of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces.…

Candidate de Sitter Vacua

Liam McAllister, Jakob Moritz, Richard Nally +1

We construct compactifications of type IIB string theory that yield, at leading order in the and expansions, de Sitter vacua of the form envisioned by Kachru, Kall…

The DNA of Calabi-Yau Hypersurfaces

Nate MacFadden, Andreas Schachner, Elijah Sheridan

We implement Genetic Algorithms for triangulations of four-dimensional reflexive polytopes which induce Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces via Batyrev's construction. We demonstrat…

Counting Calabi-Yau Threefolds

Naomi Gendler, Nate MacFadden, Liam McAllister +4

We enumerate topologically-inequivalent compact Calabi-Yau threefold hypersurfaces. By computing arithmetic and algebraic invariants and the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of curves, we…
