Target-space fusion of classical topological defects
Saskia Demulder, Chuying Wang
Classical fusion of sigma-model defects is commonly approached by combining their worldsheet actions and eliminating the intermediate fields. This procedure, however, does not syst…
Fibre Inflation Beyond BHP: Constraints and a BHP-Free Regime
Xin Gao, Zhiwei Li, Chuying Wang
We study a restricted fibre-dependent -loop sector in Type IIB Large Volume Scenario fibre inflation beyond the conventional Berg-Haack-Pajer (BHP) parametrisation. Motivated b…
The Art of Networking: Networks of Trivalent 10d Heterotic Junctions
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius +2
We initiate the study of networks of 10d string theories connected by junctions implied by the cobordism conjecture. Focusing on the recently constructed junction of the three 10d…
Hořava-Witten theory on as type 0 orientifold
Chiara Altavista, Edoardo Anastasi, Salvatore Raucci +2
We investigate dualities between quotients of recently proposed compactifications of M-theory on `quantum geometries' of the form ${\mathbf{S}}^1\vee{\mathbf{S}}^1…
Heterotic Ouroboros
Chiara Altavista, Salvatore Raucci, Angel M. Uranga +1
M-theory on has recently been proposed to yield, via quotients, ten-dimensional non-supersymmetric string theories. We revisit the construction t…
What IIB looks IIA string: String Cobordisms via Non-Compact CFTs
Edoardo Anastasi, Miguel Montero, Angel M. Uranga +1
The Swampland Cobordism Conjecture predicts the existence of end-of-the-world branes for every consistent Quantum Gravity theory, and domain walls connecting the Landscape. A pertu…
Relative Quantum Gravity: Localized Gravity and the Swampland
Edoardo Anastasi, Roberta Angius, Jesús Huertas +2
We perform a systematic study of the applicability of swampland constraints to theories of localized gravity. We find that these gravity theories can violate swampland constraints,…
End of the World Boundaries for Chiral Quantum Gravity Theories
Roberta Angius, Angel Maria Uranga, Chuying Wang
We describe the construction of large classes of explicit string theory backgrounds corresponding to 6d and 4d chiral theories with end of the world boundaries, and describe the st…
Dynamical Cobordism Conjecture: Solutions for End-of-the-World Branes
Ralph Blumenhagen, Christian Kneissl, Chuying Wang
We analyze finite size solutions for a generalized -dimensional Dudas-Mourad (DM) model featuring dynamical cobordism with neutral and charged end-of-the-world (ETW) defect bran…
