Extensions of a scale-separated AdS$_4$ solution and their mass spectrum (2310.06115v2)

Abstract: We consider two extensions of the so-called DGKT solution, a 4d scale-separated anti-de Sitter (AdS) solution obtained as a compactification on a 6d torus orbifold. Each extension consists in a specific large $n$ expansion beyond the DGKT solution, where $n$ is the unbounded $F_4$-flux parameter. One of the extensions considered generalizes the known warped, partially backreacted solution. We analyse the two extensions in 10d massive type IIA supergravity as well as in a 4d effective theory, using a general warped compactification formalism, including axions. On top of known corrections to DGKT, we mainly get new ones from $F_4$; other fluxes are very constrained by flux quantization. In each extension, one would expect corresponding corrections to the mass spectrum, before reaching contributions from $\alpha'$-corrections. But the mass spectrum turns out to be robust, and conformal dimensions remain unchanged.
