The minimal superconformal (p,0) supercurrents in two dimensions
AbstractSuperconformal transformations in rigid (p, q) superspace are defined. For the (p, 0) case it is shown how the general superspace Noethercurrent for any given model can be reduced to a minimal...

View ArticleModuli stabilization and cosmology of type IIB on SU(2)-structure orientifolds
AbstractWe consider type IIB flux compactifications on six-dimensional SU(2)-structure manifolds with O5- and O7-planes. These six-dimensional spaces allow not only for F3 and H3 fluxes but also for F1...

AbstractWe study compactifications of type IIA supergravity on six-dimensional manifolds with SU(2) structure and compute the low-energy effective action in terms of the non-trivial intrinsic torsion....

AbstractIn this paper we draw on the findings of a critical, multi-sited ethnographic study of two rural communities affected by a wildfire in British Columbia, Canada to examine the salience of place,...
View ArticleSupersymmetric vacua in N = 2 supergravity
AbstractWe use the embedding tensor formalism to analyse maximally symmetric backgrounds of N = 2 gauged supergravities which have the full N = 2 supersymmetry. We state the condition for N = 2 vacua...
View ArticleVoisin-Borcea manifolds and heterotic orbifold models
AbstractWe study the relation between a heterotic \({T^6 \left/ {{{{\mathbb{Z}}_6}}} \right.}\) orbifold model and a compactification on a smooth Voisin-Borcea Calabi-Yau three-fold with non-trivial...
View ArticleBuilding an explicit de Sitter
AbstractWe construct an explicit example of a de Sitter vacuum in type IIB string theory that realizes the proposal of Kähler uplifting. As the large volume limit in this method depends on the rank of...

AbstractThe Zagros Mountains Range is an important structural unit in south western Iran and accommodates a significant portion of the 2.5 cm/year convergence between Arabia and Eurasia. This...
View ArticleAMSB and the logic of spontaneous SUSY breaking
AbstractA cardinal principle of any theory of spontaneous \( \left( {\mathcal{N}=1} \right) \) supersymmetry breaking, is that the order parameter is a linear combination of the F and D terms. Also as...
View ArticleEnhanced supersymmetry from vanishing Euler number
AbstractWe argue that compactifications on Calabi-Yau threefolds with vanishing Euler number yield effective four dimensional theories exhibiting (spontaneously broken) N = 4 supersymmetry. To this...

AbstractCommunity detection and evaluation is an important task in graph mining. In many cases, a community is defined as a subgraph characterized by dense connections or interactions between its...

AbstractWe explicitly construct all supersymmetric flux vacua of a particular Calabi-Yau compactification of type IIB string theory for a small number of flux carrying cycles and a given D3-brane...
