We consider issues of moduli stabilization and "area codes" for type II flux compactifications, and the "Inverse Problem" and "Fake Superpotentials" for extremal (non)supersymmetric black holes in type II compactifications on (orientifold…

Flux compactifications that give three- or four-dimensional Anti de Sitter vacua with a parametrically small negative cosmological constant are claimed to be ubiquitous in String Theory. However, the 1+1 and 2+1 dimensional CFT duals to…

We consider a general class of (intersecting) loop models in D dimensions, including those related to high-temperature expansions of well-known spin models. We find that the loop models exhibit some interesting features - often in the…

We present the results of further analysis of the integrability properties of the $N=4$ supersymmetric KdV equation deduced earlier by two of us (F.D. \& E.I.) as a hamiltonian flow on $N=4$ $SU(2)$ superconformal algebra in the harmonic…

We study, using the dual AdS description, the vacua of field theories where some of the gauge symmetry is broken by expectation values of scalar fields. In such vacua, operators built out of the scalar fields acquire expectation values, and…

We discuss flux compactifications of IIA string theory on G2 holonomy spaces with O2/O6-planes to three dimensions and find two classes of solutions: 1) No-scale Minkowski vacua from NSNS 3-form fluxes and RR 4-form fluxes. 2) By adding…

We study the moduli space of type IIB string theory flux compactifications on the mirror of the CY quintic 3-fold in P4. We focus on the dynamics of the four dimensional moduli space, defined by the axio-dilaton {\tau} and the complex…

It is well known that a four-fold symmetry of the parallel upper critical magnetic field disappears in the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) region in quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) $d$-wave superconductors. Therefore, it has been accurately calculated so…

We compute the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the non-supersymmetric SO(3)$\,\times\,$SO(3)-invariant AdS$_4$ vacuum of 11-dimensional supergravity, whose lowest-lying Kaluza-Klein modes belong to a consistent truncation to 4-dimensional ${\cal…

We extend the KKLT approach to moduli stabilization by including the dilaton and the complex structure moduli into the effective supergravity theory. Decoupling of the dilaton is neither always possible nor necessary for the existence of…

This work provides evidence for the existence of supersymmetric and scale-separated AdS$_4$ vacua in M-theory of the Freund-Rubin type. The internal space has weak $G_2$-holonomy, which is obtained from the lift of AdS vacua in massless…

Considering a model with Coupled Dilaton-Squared Curvature terms and a dilatonic potential which replace the cosmological constant, we present an analytic hyperscaling violating solution which is the generalization of arXiv:1305.3279 for…

We discuss the possibility to construct supergravity models with a single superfield describing inflation as well as the tiny cosmological constant $V \sim 10^{{-120}}$. One could expect that the simplest way to do it is to study models…

We search for viable models of direct gauge mediation, where the SUSY-breaking sector is (generalized) SQCD, which has cosmologically favorable uplifted vacua even when the reheating temperature is well above the messenger scale. This…

We investigate a new realization of extended quantum-mechanical supersymmetry. We first show that an $\mathcal{N}=2$ quantum-mechanical supersymmetry is hidden in the four-dimensional (4D) spectrum of the Kaluza-Klein decomposition for the…

It was recently argued that the swampland distance conjecture rules out dS vacua at parametrically large field distances. We point out that this conclusion can in principle be avoided in the presence of large fluxes that are not bounded by…

This thesis primarily dives into investigating the details of four-dimensional vacua within String Theory using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In the first and second part of the thesis, we study the fibred Calabi-Yau and M-theory moduli…

The problem of duality symmetry in free field models is examined in details by performing a mode expansion of these fields which provides a mapping with the purely quantum mechanical example of a harmonic oscillator. By analysing the…

In this thesis, the implications of a new cosmological model are studied, which has features similar to that of decaying vacuum cosmologies. Decaying vacuum (or cosmological constant \Lambda) models are the results of attempts to resolve…

Constructing an explicit compactification yielding a metastable de Sitter (dS) vacuum in a UV consistent string theory is an incredibly difficult open problem. Motivated by this issue, as well as the conjecture that all non-supersymmetric…
