10. Convoluted Solutions in Supergravity

Inspired by the convoluted solutions for two intersecting M2 branes in eleven-dimesnional supergravity, in which one brane in the system is completely localized along the overall and relative transverse coordinates while the other brane in the system is localized only along the overall transverse coordinates, we construct two classes of exact solutions to Einstein-Maxwell theory in six and...

91. Sequestered de Sitter String Scenarios

Dr Sven Krippendorf (University of Oxford)

We present soft supersymmetry breaking terms in type IIB de Sitter string vacua after moduli stabilisation. We focus on models in which the Standard Model is sequestered from the supersymmetry breaking sources and the spectrum of soft-terms is hierarchically smaller than the gravitino mass.

44. Thermal Duality and Gravitational Collapse

Mike Hewitt (Canterbury Christ Church University)

Thermal duality is a relationship between the behaviour of heterotic string models of the E(8)xE(8) or SO(32) types at inversely related temperatures, a variant of T duality in the Euclidean regime. This duality would have consequences for the nature of the Hagedon transition in these string models. We propose that the vacuum admits a family of deformations in situations where there are closed...
