This paper considers general features of the derivative expansion of Feynman diagram contributions to the four-graviton scattering amplitude in eleven-dimensional supergravity compactified on a two-torus. These are translated into statements about interactions of the form D^2k R^4 in type II superstring theories, assuming the standard M-theory/string theory duality relationships, which provide powerful constraints on the effective interactions. In the ten-dimensional IIA limit we find that there can be no perturbative contributions beyond k string loops (for k>0). Furthermore, the genus h=k contributions are determined exactly by the one-loop eleven-dimensional supergravity amplitude for all values of k. A plausible interpretation of these observations is that the sum of h-loop Feynman diagrams of maximally extended supergravity is less divergent than might be expected and could be ultraviolet finite in dimensions d < 4 + 6/h -- the same bound as for N=4 Yang--Mills.

At low energies, interactions of massless particles in type II strings compactified on a torus $T^d$ are described by an effective Wilsonian action $mathcal{S}(Lambda)$, consisting of the usual supergravity Lagrangian supplemented by an infinite seri
es of higher-derivative vertices, including the much studied $ abla^{4p+6q} mathcal{R}^4$ gravitational interactions. Using recent results on the asymptotics of the integrands governing four-graviton scattering at genus one and two, I determine the $Lambda$-dependence of the coefficient of the above interaction, and show that the logarithmic terms appearing in the limit $Lambdato 0$ are related to UV divergences in supergravity amplitudes, augmented by stringy interactions. This provides a strong consistency check on the expansion of the integrand near the boundaries of moduli space, in particular it elucidates the appearance of odd zeta values in these expansions. I briefly discuss how these logarithms are reflected in non-analytic terms in the low energy expansion of the string scattering amplitude.
We perform a general algebraic analysis on the possibility of realising slow-roll inflation in the moduli sector of string models. This problem turns out to be very closely related to the characterisation of models admitting metastable vacua with non
-negative cosmological constant. In fact, we show that the condition for the existence of viable inflationary trajectories is a deformation of the condition for the existence of metastable de Sitter vacua. This condition depends on the ratio between the scale of inflation and the gravitino mass and becomes stronger as this parameter grows. After performing a general study within arbitrary supergravity models, we analyse the implications of our results in several examples. More concretely, in the case of heterotic and orientifold string compactifications on a Calabi-Yau in the large volume limit we show that there may exist fully viable models, allowing both for inflation and stabilisation. Additionally, we show that subleading corrections breaking the no-scale property shared by these models always allow for slow-roll inflation but with an inflationary scale suppressed with respect to the gravitino scale. A scale of inflation larger than the gravitino scale can also be achieved under more restrictive circumstances and only for certain types of compactifications.
We continue the study of supersymmetric domain wall solutions in six-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity. We first give a classification of viable gauge groups with the embedding tensor in $mathbf{5}^{+7}$, $bar{mathbf{5}}^{+3}$, $mathbf{10}^{-1}
$, $mathbf{24}^{-5}$, and $overline{mathbf{45}}^{+3}$ representations of the off-shell symmetry $GL(5)subset SO(5,5)$. We determine an explicit form of the embedding tensor for gauge groups arising from each representation together with some examples of possible combinations among them. All of the resulting gauge groups are of a non-semisimple type with abelian factors and translational groups of different dimensions. We find $frac{1}{2}$- and $frac{1}{4}$-supersymmetric domain walls with $SO(2)$ symmetry in $SO(2)ltimes mathbb{R}^8$ and $SO(2)ltimes mathbb{R}^6$ gauge groups from the embedding tensor in $mathbf{24}^{-5}$ representation and in $CSO(2,0,2)ltimes mathbb{R}^4$, $CSO(2,0,2)ltimes mathbb{R}^2$, and $CSO(2,0,1)ltimes mathbb{R}^4$ gauge groups with the embedding tensor in $overline{mathbf{45}}^{+3}$ representations. These gauge groups are parametrized by a traceless matrix and electrically and magnetically embedded in $SO(5,5)$ global symmetry, respectively.
We use exceptional field theory as a tool to work out the full non-linear reduction ansaetze for the AdS$_5times S^5$ compactification of IIB supergravity and its non-compact counterparts in which the sphere $S^5$ is replaced by the inhomogeneous hyp
erboloidal space $H^{p,q}$. The resulting theories are the maximal 5D supergravities with gauge groups SO(p,q). They are consistent truncations in the sense that every solution of 5D supergravity lifts to a solution of IIB supergravity. In particular, every stationary point and every holographic RG flow of the scalar potentials for the compact and non-compact 5D gaugings directly lift to solutions of IIB supergravity.
We use the boundary state formalism to study, from the closed string point of view, superpositions of branes and anti-branes which are relevant in some non-perturbative string dualities. Treating the tachyon instability of these systems as proposed b
y A. Sen, we show how to incorporate the effects of the tachyon condensation directly in the boundary state. In this way we manage to show explicitly that the D1 -- anti-D1 pair of Type I is a stable non-BPS D-particle, and compute its mass. We also generalize this construction to describe other non-BPS D-branes of Type I. By requiring the absence of tachyons in the open string spectrum, we find which configurations are stable and compute their tensions. Our classification is in complete agreement with the results recently obtained using the K-theory of space-time.
