Polchinski-Strassler does not uplift Klebanov-Strassler
Iosif Bena, Mariana Grana, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
Anti-D3-branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler solution with D3-charge dissolved in fluxes give rise, in the probe approximation, to a metastable state. The fully back-reacted…

Anti-D3's - Singular to the Bitter End
Iosif Bena, Mariana Grana, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the full backreaction of anti-D3 branes smeared over the tip of the deformed conifold. Requiring the 5-form flux and warp factor at the tip to be that of anti-D3 branes, w…

A comment on anti-brane singularities in warped throats
Stefano Massai
We compute the imaginary self-dual (ISD) and imaginary anti-self-dual (IASD) fluxes for the Klebanov-Strassler background perturbed by a stack of p anti-D3 branes. We show that, at…
