A bstract We study freely acting orbifolds of type IIB string theory on T 5 that spontaneously
break supersymmetry from\(\mathcal {N}\)= 8 to\(\mathcal {N}\)= 6, 4, 2 or 0 in five …

A bstract We use freely acting asymmetric orbifolds of type IIB string theory to construct a
class of theories in five dimensions with eight supercharges whose moduli spaces for vector …

A bstract We discuss AdS 2× S 3× CY 2× I ρ solutions to massive Type IIA supergravity with
4 Poincaré supersymmetries. We propose explicit dual quiver quantum mechanics built out …

We review recent developments in the study of the AdS/CFT correspondence in lower
dimensions. We start by summarising the classification of AdS 3× S 2 solutions in massive …

A bstract We study the macroscopics of 2d\(\mathcal {N}\)=(0, 4) SCFTs arising from F-theory
constructions. The class of 2d SCFTs we consider live on black strings which are obtained …

A bstract We construct freely acting asymmetric ℤ 4 orbifolds of type IIB string theory on T 5
preserving 24, 16 or 8 supercharges in five dimensions. We show that these models are well …

We construct freely acting asymmetric $\mathbb {Z} _4 $ orbifolds of type IIB string theory on
$ T^ 5$ preserving 24, 16 or 8 supercharges in five dimensions. We show that these models …

We exploit the presence of moduli fields in the AdS 3× S 3× CY 2, where CY 2= T 4 or K 3,
solution to type IIB superstring theory, to construct a U-fold solution with geometry AdS 2× S …

PhD thesis, Utrecht University, 2020 About the cover: The cover of this booklet is a
schematic depiction of a higherdimensional spacetime, which is predicted by string theory …
