Research
Supersymmetry, supergravity and string theory.
I am Scientific Coordinator of the Quantum Frontiers project.
I am a member of the GSS INFN initiative.
Some results
Supergravity
- Discovery of new maximal supergravities in four dimensions
- General formulation of non-linear representations of supersymmetry in terms of constrained superfields
- Introduction of new techniques to find and analyse vacua of extended supergravities
String phenomenology
- Introduction of group-structure techniques to investigate and classify string effective theories with fluxes
- Construction and analysis of gauged supergravities from (non-geometric) flux compactifications
Black holes
- First-order formulation of extremal non-supersymmetric black holes
