Dimensional Reduction of Cobordism and K-theory

R Blumenhagen, N Cribiori, C Kneißl… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract It has been proposed that cobordism and K-theory groups, which can be
mathematically related in certain cases, are physically associated to generalised higher …

Open-closed correspondence of K-theory and cobordism

R Blumenhagen, N Cribiori - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Non-trivial K-theory groups and non-trivial cobordism groups can lead to global
symmetries which are conjectured to be absent in quantum gravity. Inspired by open-closed …

Galois groups of uplifted de Sitter vacua

C Damian, O Loaiza-Brito - Annals of Physics, 2024 - Elsevier
We compute the Galois group of a polynomial whose roots are determined by the critical
points of a scalar potential in type IIB compactifications. We focus our study on certain …

A mini-course on Generalized Symmetries and a relation to Cobordisms and K-theory

This mini-course, conducted at the XI School on Geometric, Algebraic, and Topological
Methods in Quantum Field Theory held in Villa de Leyva, Colombia, provides an overview of …

Inflationary Implications of the Covariant Entropy Bound and the Swampland de Sitter Conjectures

D Chakraborty, C Damian, A González Bernal… - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
We present a proposal to relate the de Sitter conjecture (dSC) with the time dependence of
fluxes via the covariant entropy bound (CEB). By assuming an early phase of accelerated …
