The authors reformulate the equations of motion for AdS_D × I solutions in axio-dilaton gravity as a first-order autonomous dynamical system, identify fixed points and analytic solutions for arbitrary D including in type IIB, and discuss numerical flows in massive IIA.
Sharpened Dynamical Cobordism ties the allowed range of critical exponent δ to theory structure ξ, flagging obstructions from non-trivial cobordism charges that require new degrees of freedom.
Explicit worldsheet constructions of 9d junctions joining several 10d string theories via generalized RG flow interpolations and closed tachyon condensation, providing dynamical realizations of multi-theory cobordisms.
In codimension-one warped compactifications with exponential potentials, the KK mass decay rate λ_KK is reduced by warping but still satisfies the Sharpened Distance Conjecture precisely when the higher-dimensional potential obeys the Strong de Sitter condition.
New analytic AdS9 solutions in type IIB with finite action and central charge, numerical massive IIA solutions with diverging action, and perturbative dS9 solutions are constructed in type II supergravities.
Proposes a refinement of the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture for duality groups, arguing that diverging commutator widths necessitate infinitely many duality defects to realize monodromies in 9d supergravity bordisms.
Morse-Bott inequalities yield homology bounds and topology-change counts for generic cobordisms to nothing in string theory compactifications.
A consistent set of rules from M-theory on S¹ ∨ S¹ combined with type I' enhancements reproduces the light spectra, gauge groups, and global structure of ten-dimensional heterotic string theories, with indications of junctions between them.
