T-branes and Matrix Models

Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, Raffaele Savelli

We find that the equations describing T-branes with constant worldvolume fields are identical to the equations found by Banks, Seiberg and Shenker twenty years ago to describe long…

Minkowski flux vacua of type II supergravities

David Andriot, Johan Blåbäck, Thomas Van Riet

We study flux compactifications of 10d type II supergravities to 4d Minkowski space-time, supported by parallel orientifold Op-planes with 3 p 8. With some restrictio…

Refining the boundaries of the classical de Sitter landscape

David Andriot, Johan Blåbäck

We derive highly constraining no-go theorems for classical de Sitter backgrounds of string theory, with parallel sources; this should impact the embedding of cosmological models. W…

There and back again: A T-brane's tale

Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, Ruben Minasian +1

T-branes are supersymmetric configurations described by multiple Dp-branes with worldvolume flux and non-commuting vacuum expectation values for two of the worldvolume scalars. Whe…

Loop corrections to the antibrane potential

Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, David Turton

Antibranes provide some of the most generic ways to uplift Anti-de Sitter flux compactifications to de Sitter, and there is a growing body of evidence that antibranes placed in lon…

Domain walls inside localised orientifolds

J. Blåbäck, E. van der Woerd, T. Van Riet +1

The equations of motion of toroidal orientifold compactifications with fluxes are in one-to-one correspondence with gauged supergravity if the orientifold (and D-brane) sources are…
