Publication 1: Geometrically Induced Metastability and Holography (URL) Publication 2: Phase Structure of a Brane/Anti-Brane System at Large N (URL) Publication 3: (URL) URL of Research: Statement of Interest:
- nonsupersymmetric solutions to the string theory, especially in type IIB theory on Calabi Yau 3 manifold, using geometric transition between closed string (flux) picture and the open string (branes wrapped on cycles) picture. - in particular, the phase structure of the non supersymmetric vacua in moduli space. As you move around in the moduli space, one can lose the metastability of the nonsupersymmetric vacua, or one can also lose the nonsupersymmetric solutions themselves. I am interested in completing this story of nonsupersymmetric vacua structure in type IIB string theory.
