We calculate the interaction potential between D5 and anti-D5 branes wrapping distant but homologous 2-cycles. The interaction potential is logarithmic in the separation radius and does not decouple at infinity. We show that logarithmic backreaction is generic for 5-branes wrapping distant but homologous 2-cycles, and we argue that this destabilises models of axion monodromy inflation involving NS5 brane-antibrane pairs in separate warped throats towards an uncontrolled region.

  1. Uplifts in the Penumbra: Features of the Moduli Potential away from Infinite-Distance Boundaries

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the crossover region between the moduli-space interior and strict asymptotic boundaries, the flux potential of one complex structure modulus admits de Sitter uplifting minima and axion valleys with flattened potentials.
