Axion wormholes with massive dilaton
Stefano Andriolo, Gary Shiu, Pablo Soler +1
If Euclidean wormholes contribute meaningfully to the path integral of quantum gravity they can have important implications for particle physics and cosmology. The dominant effects…
Completing the D7-brane local gaugino action
Yuta Hamada, Arthur Hebecker, Gary Shiu +1
Within the ongoing debate about de Sitter (dS) vacua in string theory, different aspects of explicit dS proposals have come under intense scrutiny. One key ingredient is D7-brane g…
Conifold dynamics and axion monodromies
Marco Scalisi, Pablo Soler, Vincent Van Hemelryck +1
It has recently been appreciated that the conifold modulus plays an important role in string-phenomenological set-ups involving warped throats, both by imposing constraints on mode…
Understanding KKLT from a 10d perspective
Yuta Hamada, Arthur Hebecker, Gary Shiu +1
Some of the most well-celebrated constructions of metastable de Sitter vacua from string theory, such as the KKLT proposal, involve the interplay of gaugino condensation on a D7-br…
Brane gaugino condensate in 10d
Yuta Hamada, Arthur Hebecker, Gary Shiu +1
We analyze the structure of gaugino interactions on D7-branes from a 10d perspective. This is essential if one wants to lift the standard 4d approach to type IIB moduli stabilizati…
Euclidean wormholes, baby universes, and their impact on particle physics and cosmology
Arthur Hebecker, Thomas Mikhail, Pablo Soler
The euclidean path integral remains, in spite of its familiar problems, an important approach to quantum gravity. One of its most striking and obscure features is the appearance of…
