A two-dimensional family of surfaces of general type with and
Yifan Chen, YongJoo Shin
We study the construction of complex minimal smooth surfaces of general type with and . Inoue constructed the first examples of such surfaces, which can be…
Logarithmic loop corrections, moduli stabilisation and de Sitter vacua in string theory
Ignatios Antoniadis, Yifan Chen, George K. Leontaris
We study string loop corrections to the gravity kinetic terms in type IIB compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds or their orbifold limits, in the presence of -branes and or…
Probing Axions with Event Horizon Telescope Polarimetric Measurements
Yifan Chen, Jing Shu, Xiao Xue +2
With high spatial resolution, polarimetric imaging of a supermassive black hole, like M87 or Sgr A, by the Event Horizon Telescope can be used to probe the existenc…
An Emergent Higgs Alignment
Karim Benakli, Yifan Chen, Gaëtan Lafforgue-Marmet
We explain how an R-symmetry allows alignment of the vacuum expectation value and the mass eigenstates in the Higgs bosons squared-mass matrix. More important, we discuss…
Moduli Stabilization and Inflation in Type IIB/F-theory
Ignatios Antoniadis, Yifan Chen, George K. Leontaris
In the first part of this talk, a short overview of the ongoing debate on the existence of de Sitter vacua in string theory is presented. In the second part, the moduli stabilisati…
