abstract
Stable non-supersymmetric Anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacua of string theory are widely believed not to exist. In this letter, we analytically compute the full bosonic Kaluza-Klein spectrum around the ${\rm G_2}$-invariant non-supersymmetric $\textrm{AdS}_4$ solution of massive IIA supergravity, and show that it is perturbatively stable. We also provide evidence that six other non-supersymmetric $\textrm{AdS}_4$ solutions of massive IIA supergravity are perturbatively stable. Since previous studies have indicated that these AdS vacua may also be non-perturbatively stable, our findings pose a challenge to the Swampland Conjecture.

R7-branes and AdS$_{\text{9}}$ solutions in type IIB
Explicit analytic 7-brane solutions in type IIB are built with AdS9 near-horizon geometry, and imposing the reflection monodromy tau -> -bar tau selects a subclass proposed as R7-branes.
