The schedule for this Journal Club on String Theory will be as follows: 1) The latest news in the world of strings Please bring recent papers that caught your attention and briefly summarize motivations, methods and results. 2) "On The Stability Of Non-Supersymmetric AdS Vacua" discussion led by Giovanni Villadoro Abstract: I will discuss recent developments (arXiv:1002.4498) in the construction of non-susy AdS4 vacua in type-IIA flux compactification, the study of their stability against tunneling to other susy and non-susy AdS4 vacua and possible implications for non-susy AdS/CFT correspondence. References (arXiv): 1002.4498 Hope to see you all!!
