Supersymmetry breaking and stability in string vacua: Brane dynamics, bubbles and the swampland
I Basile - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2021 - Springer
We review some aspects of the dramatic consequences of supersymmetry breaking on
string vacua. In particular, we focus on the issue of vacuum stability in ten-dimensional string …

[HTML][HTML] AdS and the Swampland
We study aspects of anti-de Sitter space in the context of the Swampland. In particular, we
conjecture that the near-flat limit of pure AdS belongs to the Swampland, as it is necessarily …

6d conformal matter
A bstract A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has
G× G global symmetry and can be viewed as “bifundamental”(G, G) matter. For the AN …

On the classification of 6D SCFTs and generalized ADE orbifolds
JJ Heckman, DR Morrison, C Vafa - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We study (1, 0) and (2, 0) 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) that can be
constructed in F-theory. Quite surprisingly, all of them involve an orbifold singularity ℂ 2/Γ …
