Strings/Formal 2

I argue that generic features of string compactifications, namely a high scale of supersymmetry breaking and one or more epochs of modulus domination, can accommodate superheavy neutralino dark matter with a mass around 10^10−10^11 GeV. Interestingly, this mass range may also explain the recent detection of ultra-high-energy neutrinos by IceCube and ANITA via dark matter decay.
With the advent of the string landscape, the realisation of the Standard Model in general string theory compactifications to 4D has become a primary focus. This talk concerns novel constructions of the Standard Model in global set-ups of type IIB Calabi-Yau compactifications. We argue that the Standard Model quiver can be embedded into Calabi-Yau threefolds through orientifolded D3 branes at...
Swampland Conjectures have attracted quite some interest in the Cosmological Community. They have been shown to have wide ranging implications , like Constraints on Inflationary Models, Primordial Black Holes, Dark Energy to name a few. Particularly, their implications on Single Field Inflationary Models in General Relativity Based Cosmology has gathered huge attention. Swampland Conjectures...
It is known that local, Lorentz invariant, unitary theories involving particles with spin 1 demand
that the matter sector they couple to are organized by internal physical symmetries and the as-
sociated charge conservation, while spin 3/2 demands supersymmetry. However, the introduction
of a spin 2 graviton does not obviously demand new symmetries of the matter sector (although it
does...
