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…
