Magnetic quivers from brane webs with O7+-planes (2021)
Journal Article
Akhond, M., & Carta, F. (2021). Magnetic quivers from brane webs with O7+-planes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(10), https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282021%29014

We consider the Higgs branch of 5d fixed points engineered using brane webs with an O7+-plane. We use the brane construction to propose a set of rules to extract the corresponding magnetic quivers. Such magnetic quivers are generically framed non-sim... Read More about Magnetic quivers from brane webs with O7+-planes.

Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT (2021)
Journal Article

In flux compactifications of type IIB string theory with D3 and seven-branes, the negative induced D3 charge localized on seven-branes leads to an apparently pathological profile of the metric sufficiently close to the source. With the volume modulus... Read More about Resolving spacetime singularities in flux compactifications & KKLT.

Conformal manifolds and 3d mirrors of Argyres-Douglas theories (2021)
Journal Article

Argyres-Douglas theories constitute an important class of superconformal field theories in 4d. The main focus of this paper is on two infinite families of such theories, known as Dbp(SO(2N)) and (Am, Dn). We analyze in depth their conformal manifolds...

Factorised 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 orthosymplectic quivers (2021)
Journal Article
Akhond, M., Carta, F., Dwivedi, S., Hayashi, H., Kim, S.-S., & Yagi, F. (2021). Factorised 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 orthosymplectic quivers. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(5), Article 269. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282021%29269

We study the moduli space of 3d N = 4 quiver gauge theories with unitary, orthogonal and symplectic gauge nodes, that fall into exceptional sequences. We find that both the Higgs and Coulomb branches of the moduli space factorise into decoupled secto... Read More about Factorised 3d $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 orthosymplectic quivers.

Gopakumar-Vafa hierarchies in winding inflation and uplifts (2021)
Journal Article
Carta, F., Mininno, A., Righi, N., & Westphal, A. (2021). Gopakumar-Vafa hierarchies in winding inflation and uplifts. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(5), Article 271. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282021%29271

We propose a combined mechanism to realize both winding inflation and de Sitter uplifts. We realize the necessary structure of competing terms in the scalar potential not via tuning the vacuum expectation values of the complex structure moduli, but b...
