Giant Tachyons in the Landscape
Iosif Bena, Mariana Graña, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the dynamics of localized and fully backreacting anti-D3 branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler geometry. We use a non-supersymmetric version of the Polchinski-Strass…
Metastability in Bubbling AdS Space
Stefano Massai, Giulio Pasini, Andrea Puhm
We study the dynamics of probe M5 branes with dissolved M2 charge in bubbling geometries with SO(4) x SO(4) symmetry. These solutions were constructed by Bena-Warner and Lin-Lunin-…
On Inflation and de Sitter in Non-Geometric String Backgrounds
Falk Hassler, Dieter Lust, Stefano Massai
We study the problem of obtaining de Sitter and inflationary vacua from dimensional reduction of double field theory (DFT) on nongeometric string backgrounds. In this context, we c…
Tachyonic Anti-M2 Branes
Iosif Bena, Mariana Graña, Stanislav Kuperstein +1
We study the dynamics of anti-M2 branes in a warped Stenzel solution with M2 charges dissolved in fluxes by taking into account their full backreaction on the geometry. The resulti…
