Journal Article
Nguyen, N., & Niarchos, V. (2022). On matched asymptotic expansions of backreacting metastable anti-branes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(6), Article 55. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep06%282022%29055

We construct analytically a perturbative supergravity solution that captures the backreaction of a metastable state of anti-branes in the background of a particular modification of the Klebanov-Strassler throat in a long-wavelength approximation. Our... Read More about On matched asymptotic expansions of backreacting metastable anti-branes.

Comments on the stability of the KPV state (2020)
Journal Article

Using the blackfold approach, we study the classical stability of the KPV (Kachru-Pearson-Verlinde) state of anti-D3 branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler throat. With regards to generic long-wavelength deformations considered, we found no inst... Read More about Comments on the stability of the KPV state.

Thermal transitions of metastable M-branes (2019)
Journal Article
Armas, J., Nguyen, N., Niarchos, V., & Obers, N. A. (2019). Thermal transitions of metastable M-branes. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019(8), Article 128. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep08%282019%29128

We use blackfold methods to analyse the properties of putative supergravity solutions in M-theory that describe the backreaction of polarised anti-M2 branes (namely, M5 branes wrapping three-cycles with negative M2-brane charge) in the Cvetic-Gibbons...

Metastable Nonextremal Antibranes (2019)
Journal Article
Armas, J., Nguyen, N., Niarchos, V., Obers, N., & Van Riet, T. (2019). Metastable Nonextremal Antibranes. Physical Review Letters, 122(18), Article 181601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.122.181601

We find new and compelling evidence for the metastability of supersymmetry-breaking states in holographic backgrounds whose consistency has been the source of ongoing disagreements in the literature. As a concrete example, we analyze anti-D3 branes a... Read More about Metastable Nonextremal Antibranes.
