EFT (String) Tower Building

Alessandra Grieco, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela

We develop a bottom-up framework to reconstruct the asymptotic spectrum of light towers in four-dimensional effective field theories directly from their Kähler pot…

Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups

Camilo las Heras, Ignacio Ruiz

We study the topological properties of bordisms interpolating between different 9d gauged supergravities obtained from compactification of type IIB string theory on

EFT strings and dualities in 4d

Alessandra Grieco, Ignacio Ruiz, Irene Valenzuela

We investigate the global structure of the states becoming light at perturbative limits of 4d string and M-theory compactifications, identifying the different duali…

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture

Markus Dierigl, Ignacio Ruiz

The absence of global symmetries in a quantum gravity theory often requires the introduction of (new) symmetry-breaking defects, which appear as singular objects in the low-energy…

The dark dimension, proton decay, and the length of the M-theory interval

Mario Reig, Ignacio Ruiz

The existence of a large extra dimension in which only gravity propagates would have spectacular consequences for cosmology and laboratory experiments. In the strong coupling limit…

Morse-Bott inequalities, Topology Change and Cobordisms to Nothing

Ignacio Ruiz

The Cobordism Conjecture predicts spacetime-ending configurations, such as Bubbles of Nothing (BoN), being commonplace. These correspond to vacuum decays in which the compactificat…
