Tachyonic Kaluza-Klein modes and the AdS swampland conjecture

Abstract We compute the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the non-supersymmetric SO(3) × SO(3)-invariant AdS4 vacuum of 11-dimensional supergravity, whose lowest-lying Kaluza-Klein modes belong to a consistent truncation to 4-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 8 supergravity and are stable. We show that, none...
