Decoupling and de Sitter Vacua in Approximate No-Scale Supergravities
M. C. David Marsh, Bert Vercnocke, Timm Wrase
We study supergravity with chiral superfields in which one of the fields has a Kähler potential of exact no-scale type. Such systems admit de Sitter (dS) solutio…
Emergence of Spontaneously Broken Supersymmetry on an Anti-D3-Brane in KKLT dS Vacua
Renata Kallosh, Timm Wrase
The KKLT construction of de Sitter vacua includes an uplifting term coming from an anti-D3-brane. Here we show how this term can arise via spontaneous breaking of supersymmetry, ba…
Comments on M representations and geometries
Natalie M. Paquette, Timm Wrase
We show using string dualities that Mathieu moonshine controls Gromov-Witten invariants and periods of the holomorphic 3-form for certain manifolds. We also discuss how…
Analytic Classes of Metastable de Sitter Vacua
Renata Kallosh, Andrei Linde, Bert Vercnocke +1
In this paper, we give a systematic procedure for building locally stable dS vacua in supergravity models motivated by string theory. We assume that one of the supe…
Mock Modular Mathieu Moonshine Modules
Miranda C. N. Cheng, Xi Dong, John F. R. Duncan +3
We construct super vertex operator algebras which lead to modules for moonshine relations connecting the four smaller sporadic simple Mathieu groups with distinguished mock modular…
The Powers of Monodromy
Liam McAllister, Eva Silverstein, Alexander Westphal +1
Flux couplings to string theory axions yield super-Planckian field ranges along which the axion potential energy grows. At the same time, other aspects of the physics remain essent…
