A Type IIB Dualifold

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Cumrun Vafa

We present evidence that ten-dimensional type IIB string theory orbifolded by the duality symmetry at the strong-coupling fixed point defines a consi…

Isolated Critical Points for Scherk-Schwarz Compactifications of M-theory

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Shi Chen, Cumrun Vafa

We consider Scherk-Schwarz compactifications of M-theory (toroidal compactifications with a non-trivial spin structure) in various dimensions and find isolated critical points of t…

A Duality Web for Non-Supersymmetric Strings

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Matilda Delgado, Emilian Dudas +2

Motivated by the recently proposed geometric descriptions of 0A and 0B in M-theory and F-theory, we propose a web of duality among non-supersymmetric strings. In particular we argu…

M-theory on as Type 0A

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Emilian Dudas, Cumrun Vafa

We propose an exotic geometric M-theory dual for the weak coupling Type 0A string: compactification on a sub-Planckian (two circles connected at a point), where stron…

Counting AdS Vacua

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Alessandro Tomasiello, Cumrun Vafa

We study the 'number' of AdS vacua with a UV cut off . It has been proposed that this number is finite. We find evidence that …

Bounds on Discrete Gauge Symmetries in Supergravity

Zihni Kaan Baykara, Markus Dierigl, Hee-Cheol Kim +2

We place bounds on the order of enhanced discrete gauge symmetries that act on massless fields and thus arise at subloci of the moduli space in supergravity theories. We focus on s…
