CENTRA Seminar - Tunneling in models of Flux Vacua - 23 maio 2013

Tunneling in models of Flux Vacua

José Blanco-Pillado

Ikerbasque and Tufts University

Abstract / Resumo 

I will present simple models of flux compactifications that lead to the existence of vacua with different numbers of large dimensions. I will then describe the instantons interpolating between these different vacua as well as some observational implications of a transdimensional multiverse of this type.
