Astrophysical observations of spinning black holes, which span 5 M⊙≲ M BH≲ 5× 10 8 M⊙,
can be used to exclude the existence of certain massive bosons via the superradiance …

Motivated by its potential use as a starting point for solving various cosmological constant
problems, we study F‐theory compactified on the warped product where Y8 is a manifold …

We discuss flux compactifications of IIA string theory on G2 holonomy spaces with O2/O6-
planes to three dimensions and find two classes of solutions:(1) No-scale Minkowski vacua …

We review recent developments and outstanding questions regarding connecting the top-
down UV complete physical framework of string theory with the observed physics of the …

A bstract In this note, we study the Swampland Distance Conjecture in TCS G 2 manifold
compactifications of M-theory. In particular, we are interested in testing a refined version …

A bstract We consider the non-perturbative superpotential for a class of four-
dimensional\(\mathcal {N}= 1\) vacua obtained from M-theory on seven-manifolds with …

A bstract We study the duality between M-theory on compact holonomy G 2-manifolds and
the heterotic string on Calabi-Yau three-folds. The duality is studied for K3-fibered G 2 …

A bstract M-theory compactified on G 2-holonomy manifolds results in 4d\(\mathcal {N}\)= 1
supersymmetric gauge theories coupled to gravity. In this paper we focus on the gauge …

Superstring theories are very promising theoretically, but the enormous landscape of string
vacua and the (likely) very large underlying string scale imply that they may never be tested …

A bstract M-theory on local G 2-manifolds engineers 4d minimally supersymmetric gauge
theories. We consider ALE-fibered G 2-manifolds and study the 4d physics from the view …
