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…
F-theory Axiverse
Sebastian Vander Ploeg Fallon, James Halverson, Liam McAllister +1
We compute the couplings of Ramond-Ramond four-form axions in three ensembles of F-theory compactifications, with up to 181,200 axions. We work in the stretched Kähler cone, where…
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…
Moduli Stabilization in String Theory
Liam McAllister, Fernando Quevedo
We give an overview of moduli stabilization in compactifications of string theory. We summarize current methods for construction and analysis of vacua with stabilized moduli, and w…
Compactification of Superstring Theory
Michael R. Douglas, Liam McAllister
We give a mathematical perspective on string compactifications. Submitted as a chapter in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics.
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…
Bouncing Brane Cosmologies from Warped String Compactifications
S. Kachru, L. McAllister
We study the cosmology induced on a brane probing a warped throat region in a Calabi-Yau compactification of type IIB string theory. For the case of a BPS D3-brane probing the Kleb…
