Ivano Basile – Horror vacui: instabilities in scale-separated Casimir compactifications
Speakers: Ivano Basile (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) . Abstract: Finding reliable scale-separated vacua with no moduli in the string landscape is a considerable challenge, yet it is essential to connect string theory to our universe. Among several attempts, toroidal compactifications supported by fluxes and Casimir energy stand out for their simplicity and degree of parametric […]
