CasimirRFM: A Mathematica package for Riemann-flat compactifications with Casimir energies
Bruno Valeixo Bento
CasimirRFM is a Mathematica package that enables the study of compactifications on Riemann‑flat manifolds and the numerical computation of one‑loop Casimir energies and potentials…
An M-theory dS maximum from Casimir energies on Riemann-flat manifolds
Bruno Valeixo Bento, Miguel Montero
We initiate the study of flux compactifications on non-supersymmetric Riemann-flat manifolds (RFM's) with Casimir energy. While curvature and other corrections are suppressed in RF…
Constraining strongly-warped extra dimensions with rotating black holes
Bruno Valeixo Bento, Miquel Salicrú Herberg
Massive bosonic fields can trigger superradiant instabilities in rotating astrophysical black holes leading to gaps in their mass-spin distribution. For spin-2 fields, the instabil…
de Sitter no-go's for Riemann-flat manifolds and a link to semidefinite optimisation
Bruno Valeixo Bento, Miguel Montero
We establish a no-go theorem in the context of string and M-theory flux compactifications on Riemann-Flat manifolds with Casimir energy. Specifically, we show that no dS minimum ex…
EFT & Species Scale: Friends or foes?
Bruno Valeixo Bento, João F. Melo
Recently the notion that quantum gravity effects could manifest at scales much lower than the Planck scale has seen an intense Swamplandish revival. Dozens of works have explored h…
A guide to frames, 's, scales and corrections in string compactifications
Bruno Valeixo Bento, Dibya Chakraborty, Susha Parameswaran +1
This note is intended to serve as a reference for conventions used in the literature on string compactifications, and how to move between them, collected in a single and easy-to-fi…
