This article represents the author's PhD thesis. It describes moduli stabilisation in IIB string theory and applications to phenomenological topics. The first half of the thesis starts with an introductory review. It continues with an…
This survey article is an accompaniment to the 2025 Summer Research Institute in Algebraic Geometry Bootcamp on K-stability and K-moduli. It is aimed at graduate students and intended to provide the necessary background to begin research on…
We discuss the moduli stabilization arising in the presence of gauge fluxes, R-symmetry twists and non-perturbative effects in the context of 6-dimensional supergravity models. We show how the presence of D-terms, due to the gauge fluxes,…

We present a review of heterotic-type I string duality. In particular, we discuss the effective field theory of six- and four-dimensional compactifications with N>1 supersymmetries. We then describe various duality tests by comparing gauge…
Lectures presented at the Les Houches 2016 Summer School "Integrability: from Statistical Systems to Gauge Theory".
These are extended lecture notes of a PhD course that the author gave at the Universita degli studi di Torino in Italy in spring 2013.
We give an overview of moduli stabilization in compactifications of string theory. We summarize current methods for construction and analysis of vacua with stabilized moduli, and we describe applications to cosmology and particle physics.…
We present a novel strategy to systematically study complex-structure moduli stabilization in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications. In particular, we determine vacua in any asymptotic regime of the complex-structure moduli space by…
Unabridged version of the Thesis presented to the University of Rome ``Tor Vergata'', in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the ``Laurea'' degree in Physics, May 2001.
In this expository paper, which covers material presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute "Nonlinear Analysis, Differential Equations, and Control" (Montreal, Jul/Aug 1998), we deal with several questions related to stability and…
This paper is a survey of the stable homotopy theory of BG for G a finite group. It is based on a series of lectures given at the Summer School associated with the Topology Conference at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, August 2004.
We apply the methods of DeWolfe et al. [hep-th/0505160] to a T^6/Z_4 orientifold model. This is the first step in an attempt to build a phenomenologically interesting meta-stable de Sitter model with small cosmological constant and standard…
