Supersymmetric AdS 6 vacua in six-dimensional N = (1 , 1) gauged supergravity
AbstractWe study fully supersymmetric AdS6 vacua of half-maximal N = (1, 1) gauged supergravity in six space-time dimensions coupled to n vector multiplets. We show that the existence of AdS6...
View ArticleClassification of maximally supersymmetric backgrounds in supergravity theories
AbstractWe study maximally supersymmetric solutions of all gauged or deformed supergravity theories in D≥ 3 space-time dimensions. For vanishing background fluxes the space-time background has to be...

AbstractWe study maximally supersymmetric Anti-de Sitter backgrounds in consistent \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) truncations of type IIB supergravity compactified on the Sasaki-Einstein manifold T1,1. In...

AbstractWe consider compactifications of type IIA superstring theory on mirror-folds obtained as K3 fibrations over two-tori with non-geometric monodromies involving mirror symmetries. At special...

AbstractWe study maximally supersymmetric AdSD solutions of gauged supergravities in dimensions D≥ 4. We show that such solutions can only exist if the gauge group after spontaneous symmetry breaking...

AbstractThe depth, breadth, and complexity of audiovisual translation (AVT) are growing at a rapid rate. AVT is becoming increasingly merged with language technologies, including computer-assisted...
View ArticleN = 2 $$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ moduli of AdS 4 vacua: a fine-print study
AbstractWe analyze the moduli spaces near \( \mathcal{N}=4 \) supersymmetric AdS4 vacua of string theory by combining and comparing various approaches: (a) the known exact solutions of Type IIB string...

AbstractWe know from the literature that high cognitive load can impede performance and educational outcomes. Previous measures of cognitive load have largely relied on subjective scales but few have...

AbstractSubtitles for people that are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (SDH) are created on the basis of polysemiotic texts, i.e. films or TV programmes. Polysemiotic texts can be defined as artefacts that...

AbstractThe use of lead-based rifle bullets in hunting poses a risk to human and animal health when bullet fragments remain in the game meat. The objective of this study was to assess, for the first...
