Algorithmically solving the Tadpole Problem

Iosif Bena, Johan Blåbäck, Mariana Graña +1

The extensive computer-aided search applied in [arXiv:2010.10519] to find the minimal charge sourced by the fluxes that stabilize all the (flux-stabilizable) moduli of a smooth K3x…

Weak gravity (and other conjectures) with broken supersymmetry

Quentin Bonnefoy, Emilian Dudas, Severin Lüst

We study the weak gravity conjecture in non-supersymmetric string theory setups. Precisely, those are type I string theory with supersymmetry broken à la Scherk-Schwarz and open st…

Infinite Black Hole Entropies at Infinite Distances and Tower of States

Quentin Bonnefoy, Luca Ciambelli, Dieter Lust +1

The aim of this paper is to elucidate a close connection between the black hole area law and the infinite distance conjecture in the context of the swampland. We consider families…

Throat destabilization (for profit and for fun)

Iosif Bena, Alex Buchel, Severin Lüst

Two recent results indicate that the addition of supersymmetry-breaking ingredients can destabilize the Klebanov-Strassler warped deformed conifold throat. The first comes from an…

Microstate geometries at a generic point in moduli space

Guillaume Bossard, Severin Lüst

We systematically study all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional (2,0) supergravity with a null isometry. In particular, every such solution with at least four real supersym…

Maximally Supersymmetric AdS Solutions in Gauged Supergravity

Severin Lust

In this thesis we study maximally supersymmetric solutions of gauged supergravity theories, with special focus on anti-de Sitter solutions. The latter are relevant in the context o…
