Beginners lectures on flux compactifications and related Swampland topics
Thomas Van Riet, Gianluca Zoccarato
These lecture notes provide a pedagogical introduction, with exercises, to the techniques used in attempts to construct vacua with stabilised moduli in string theory. The reader is…
On D-brane moduli stabilisation
Fernando Marchesano, Diego Regalado, Gianluca Zoccarato
Standard results in 4d N=1 string compactifications assign a number of moduli to each space-time filling D-brane, computed by analysing the D-brane action in a fixed background. We…
Exact partition functions of Higgsed 5d theories
Hirotaka Hayashi, Gianluca Zoccarato
We present a general prescription by which we can systematically compute exact partition functions of five-dimensional supersymmetric theories which arise in Higgs branches of the…
U(1) mixing and D-brane linear equivalence
Fernando Marchesano, Diego Regalado, Gianluca Zoccarato
Linear equivalence is a criterion that compares submanifolds in the same homology class. We show that, in the context of type II compactifications with D-branes, this concept trans…
