A note on obstinate tachyons in classical dS solutions
Ulf H. Danielsson, Gary Shiu, Thomas Van Riet +1
The stabilisation of the dilaton and volume in tree-level flux compactifications leads to model independent and thus very powerful existence and stability criteria for dS solutions…
Fractional branes, warped compactifications and backreacted orientifold planes
J. Blåbäck, B. Janssen, T. Van Riet +1
The standard extremal p-brane solutions in supergravity are known to allow for a generalisation which consists of adding a linear dependence on the world-volume coordinates to the…
Persistent anti-brane singularities
Iosif Bena, Daniel Junghans, Stanislav Kuperstein +3
Anti-D-branes inserted in warped throat geometries (supported by fluxes that carry D-brane charges) develop unphysical singularities. It has been argued that these singularities co…
Fake supersymmetry versus Hamilton-Jacobi
Mario Trigiante, Thomas Van Riet, Bert Vercnocke
We explain when the first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations for black holes (and domain walls) in (gauged) supergravity, reduce to the usual first-order equations derived from a fake…
Resolving anti-brane singularities through time-dependence
Johan Blåbäck, Ulf H. Danielsson, Thomas Van Riet
In this note we discuss a possible resolution of the flux singularities associated with the insertion of branes in backgrounds supported by fluxes that carry charges opposite to th…
