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…
