New Orientifold Weak Coupling Limits in F-theory
Paolo Aluffi, Mboyo Esole
We present new explicit constructions of weak coupling limits of F-theory generalizing Sen's construction to elliptic fibrations which are not necessary given in a Weierstrass form…

Stability of warped AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity
Dionysios Anninos, Mboyo Esole, Monica Guica
AdS3 vacua of topologically massive gravity (TMG) have been shown to be perturbatively unstable for all values of the coupling constant except the chiral point μl=1. We study the p…

Orientiholes
Frederik Denef, Mboyo Esole, Megha Padi
By T-dualizing space-filling D-branes in IIB orientifold compactifications along the three non-internal spatial directions, we obtain black hole bound states living in a universe w…
