We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic
ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed-string fluxes in type-II …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

A bstract We construct\(\mathcal {N}\)=(2, 2) supersymmetric AdS 3 solutions of type IIB
supergravity, dual to twisted compactifications of 4d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 4 super-Yang-Mills on …

We analyse the most general supersymmetric solutions of D= 11 supergravity consisting of a
warped product of five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space with a six-dimensional Riemannian …

This is a review on brane effective actions, their symmetries and some of their applications.
Its first part covers the Green-Schwarz formulation of single M-and D-brane effective actions …

A bstract In this paper we discuss an infinite family of new solutions in massive Type IIA
supergravity with AdS 3× S 2 factors, preserving\(\mathcal {N}\)=(0, 4) SUSY. After studying …

A general form for all supersymmetric solutions of minimal supergravity in six dimensions is
obtained. Examples of new supersymmetric solutions are presented. It is proved that the …

A bstract We construct supersymmetric AdS 3 solutions in F-theory, that is Type IIB
supergravity with varying axio-dilaton, which are holographically dual to 2d\(\mathcal …

We study the conditions to have supersymmetric D-branes on general Script N= 1
backgrounds with Ramond-Ramond fluxes. These conditions can be written in terms of the …

We describe the computation of SUSY-breaking terms on a D3-brane in a quite general type
IIB supergravity background. We apply it to study the SUSY-breaking induced on the D3 …
