      Racetrack potentials and the de Sitter swampland conjectures 

      Blanco Pillado, José Juan; Álvarez Urquiola, Mikel ORCID; Wachter, Jeremy M. (Springer, 2019-01)
      We show that one can find de Sitter critical points (saddle points) in models of flux compactification of Type IIB String Theory without any uplifting terms and in the presence of several moduli. We demonstrate this by ...

      Towards a Complete Mass Spectrum of Type-IIB Flux Vacua at Large Complex Structure 

      Blanco Pillado, José Juan; Sousa, Kepa ORCID; Álvarez Urquiola, Mikel ORCID; Wachter, Jeremy M. (Springer, 2021-04-15)
      The large number of moduli fields arising in a generic string theory compactification makes a complete computation of the low energy effective theory infeasible. A common strategy to solve this problem is to consider ...

      Universal class of type-IIB flux vacua with analytic mass spectrum 

      Blanco Pillado, José Juan; Sousa, Kepa ORCID; Álvarez Urquiola, Mikel ORCID; Wachter, Jeremy M. (American Physical Society, 2021-05)
      We report on a new class of flux vacua generically present in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type-IIB string theory. At these vacua, the mass spectrum of the complete axiodilaton/complex structure sector is given, to ...
