The Swampland program aims to distinguish effective theories which can be completed into
quantum gravity in the ultraviolet from those which cannot. This article forms an introduction …

A bstract Massive type IIA flux compactifications of the form AdS 4× X 6, where X 6 admits a
Calabi-Yau metric and O6-planes wrap** three-cycles, display families of vacua with …

A bstract We present a generalised geometry framework for systematically constructing
consistent truncations of ten-and eleven-dimensional supergravity preserving varying …

In these lectures we review Generalized Complex Geometry and discuss two main
applications to string theory: the description of supersymmetric flux compactifications and the …

We investigate the type II string effective potential at tree-level for de Sitter critical points. We
derive necessary ingredients for having de Sitter solutions in orientifold models with fluxes …

We deform the recently proposed holographic duality between the ABJM\(\mathcal {N}= 6\)
Chern-Simons-matter theory and type IIA string theory in\({\text {Ad}}{{\text {s}} _4}\times …

We study cosmological properties of type IIA compactifications on orientifolds of SU (3)-
structure manifolds with non-vanishing geometric flux. These compactifications give rise to …

We elaborate on the construction of de Sitter solutions from IIA orientifolds of SU (3)‐
structure manifolds that solve the 10‐dimensional equations of motion at tree‐level in the …

We consider string theory compactifications of the form AdS with orientifold six-planes,
where is a six-dimensional compact space that is either a nilmanifold or a coset. For all …

We derive several no-go theorems in the context of massive type IIA string theory
compactified to four dimensions in a way that, in the absence of fluxes, preserves N= 1 …
