abstract

We describe how unbounded three--form fluxes can lead to families of $AdS_3 \times S_7$ vacua, with constant dilaton profiles, in the $USp(32)$ model with "brane supersymmetry breaking" and in the $U(32)$ 0'B model, if their (projective--)disk dilaton tadpoles are taken into account. We also describe how, in the $SO(16) \times SO(16)$ heterotic model, if the torus vacuum energy $\Lambda$ is taken into account, unbounded seven--form fluxes can support similar $AdS_7 \times S_3$ vacua, while unbounded three--form fluxes, when combined with internal gauge fields, can support $AdS_3 \times S_7$ vacua, which continue to be available even if $\Lambda$ is neglected. In addition, special gauge field fluxes can support, in the $SO(16) \times SO(16)$ heterotic model, a set of $AdS_{n}\times S_{10-n}$ vacua, for all $n=2,..,8$. String loop and $\alpha'$ corrections appear under control when large form fluxes are allowed.

  1. R7-branes and AdS$_{\text{9}}$ solutions in type IIB

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit analytic 7-brane solutions in type IIB are built with AdS9 near-horizon geometry, and imposing the reflection monodromy tau -> -bar tau selects a subclass proposed as R7-branes.

  2. $\text{AdS}_D\times I$ solutions in axio-dilaton gravity

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors reformulate the equations of motion for AdS_D × I solutions in axio-dilaton gravity as a first-order autonomous dynamical system, identify fixed points and analytic solutions for arbitrary D including in t...

  3. Banks-Zaks Stabilisation of Non-SUSY Strings

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In non-supersymmetric strings, scale-separated AdS vacua can form when the accidentally small one-loop vacuum energy from massive states balances the two-loop Casimir energy of massless states, a Banks-Zaks-like fixed point.

  4. Brane annihilation in non-supersymmetric strings

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-supersymmetric AdS×S flux vacua in three string models decay by flux-reducing tunneling whose semi-classical rates match brane-instanton estimates from D1- or NS5-branes.

  5. AdS$_9$ solutions in type II supergravities

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    New analytic AdS9 solutions in type IIB with finite action and central charge, numerical massive IIA solutions with diverging action, and perturbative dS9 solutions are constructed in type II supergravities.

  6. Non-supersymmetric heterotic strings on $AdS_{4}\times S^{3}\times S^{3}$

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-supersymmetric heterotic string compactifications on AdS4 x S3 x S3 with two fluxes develop tachyonic instabilities when fluxes are close in magnitude and show inverse scale separation when far apart, but brane nu...

  7. Non-supersymmetric strings on AdS$_3$: a world-sheet perspective

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On AdS3×S3×S3×S1, a Wilson-line deformation of the Spin(16)×Spin(16)⋊Z2 heterotic string produces a level-matched tachyon, so the classical moduli space contains unstable regions.

  8. Instabilities in scale-separated Casimir vacua

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Casimir-stabilized AdS vacua with parametric scale separation in supergravity exhibit perturbative and non-perturbative instabilities under deformations.

    hep-th 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A survey of tachyons and tadpoles in non-supersymmetric closed and orientifold strings, including ten-dimensional models and landscape attempts.
