Arithmetic of Duality Defects in 4d Maxwell Theory
Damian van de Heisteeg, Ling Lin, Giacomo Maggiorotti
We study the arithmetic structure of non-invertible duality defects in 4d Maxwell theory. First, we recast the problem of realizing an elliptic transforma…
Symmetries and M-theory-like Vacua in Four Dimensions
Shi Chen, Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa
Non-geometric flux vacua have recently been revisited, leading to the remarkable discovery of isolated 4D supersymmetric Minkowski vacua. These constructions rely…
Exact Flux Vacua, Symmetries, and the Structure of the Landscape
Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg
Identifying flux vacua in string theory with stabilized complex structure moduli presents a significant challenge, necessitating the minimization of a scalar potential complicated…
Charting the Complex Structure Landscape of F-theory
Damian van de Heisteeg
We explore the landscape of F-theory compactifications on Calabi--Yau fourfolds whose complex structure moduli space is the thrice-punctured sphere. As a first part, we enumerate a…
Species Scale in Diverse Dimensions
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In a quantum theory of gravity, the species scale can be defined as the scale at which corrections to the Einstein action become important or alternatively as codifying the "…
Bounds on Field Range for Slowly Varying Positive Potentials
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
In the context of quantum gravitational systems, we place bounds on regions in field space with slowly varying positive potentials. Using the fact that , where is…
Beyond Large Complex Structure: Quantized Periods and Boundary Data for One-Modulus Singularities
Brice Bastian, Damian van de Heisteeg, Lorenz Schlechter
We study periods in an integral basis near all possible singularities in one-dimensional complex structure moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Near large complex structure poin…
Bounds on Species Scale and the Distance Conjecture
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner
The species scale serves as a UV cutoff in the gravitational sector of an EFT and can depend on the moduli of the theory as the spectrum of the theory varies. We a…
Moduli-dependent Species Scale
Damian van de Heisteeg, Cumrun Vafa, Max Wiesner +1
The counting of the number of light modes in a gravitational theory is captured by the notion of the `species scale', which serves as an effective UV cutoff below the Planck scale.…
Asymptotic String Compactifications; Periods, flux potentials, and the swampland
Damian van de Heisteeg
In this thesis we have studied various applications of asymptotic Hodge theory in string compactifications. This mathematical framework captures how physical couplings of the resul…
The Tadpole Conjecture in Asymptotic Limits
Mariana Graña, Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg +2
The tadpole conjecture suggests that the complete stabilization of complex structure deformations in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications is severely obstructed by the tadp…
Moduli Stabilization in Asymptotic Flux Compactifications
Thomas W. Grimm, Erik Plauschinn, Damian van de Heisteeg
We present a novel strategy to systematically study complex-structure moduli stabilization in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. In particular, we determine vacua in any…
M2-branes on Discs and Multi-Charged Spindles
Christopher Couzens, Koen Stemerdink, Damian van de Heisteeg
We study supersymmetric AdS solutions of 11d supergravity where is an fibration over a Riemann surface equipped with a metric of non-constant curvature. W…
Bulk Reconstruction in Moduli Space Holography
Thomas W. Grimm, Jeroen Monnee, Damian van de Heisteeg
It was recently suggested that certain UV-completable supersymmetric actions can be characterized by the solutions to an auxiliary non-linear sigma-model with special asymptotic bo…
Weak Gravity Bounds in Asymptotic String Compactifications
Brice Bastian, Thomas W. Grimm, Damian van de Heisteeg
We study the charge-to-mass ratios of BPS states in four-dimensional supergravities arising from Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications of Type IIB string theory. W…
The Near-Horizon Geometry of Supersymmetric Rotating AdS Black Holes in M-theory
Christopher Couzens, Eric Marcus, Koen Stemerdink +1
We classify the necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain the near-horizon geometry of extremal supersymmetric rotating black holes embedded in 11d supergravity. Such rotating…
Classifying Calabi-Yau threefolds using infinite distance limits
Thomas W. Grimm, Fabian Ruehle, Damian van de Heisteeg
We present a novel way to classify Calabi-Yau threefolds by systematically studying their infinite volume limits. Each such limit is at infinite distance in Kahler moduli space and…
