M-theory boundaries beyond supersymmetry
Miguel Montero, Luis Zapata
The chiral worldvolume theory of an M-theory boundary (the so-called M9 brane) is uniquely determined by supersymmetry and anomaly inflow. In this brief note we investigate whether…
Cosmological Chameleons, String Theory and the Swampland
Gonzalo F. Casas, Miguel Montero, Ignacio Ruiz
We study a scenario with a transient phase of cosmological acceleration that could potentially be realized in asymptotic corners of String Theory moduli space. A very steep scalar…
To curve, or not to curve: Is curvature-assisted quintessence observationally viable?
George Alestas, Matilda Delgado, Ignacio Ruiz +3
Single-field models of accelerated expansion with nearly flat potentials, despite being able to provide observationally viable explanations for the early-time cosmic inflation and…
Global anomalies & bordism of non-supersymmetric strings
Ivano Basile, Arun Debray, Matilda Delgado +1
The three tachyon-free non-supersymmetric string theories in ten dimensions provide a handle on quantum gravity away from the supersymmetric lamppost. However, they have not been s…
