I will introduce Einstein manifolds with torsion and nonmetricity and present new applications in the context of (super)gravity theories, focusing, in particular, on models in three dimensions.

Recently anti-brane singularities have been argued to be resolved when the polarisation have been taken into account properly. The anti-D6-brane singularity however seems to be the odd-one out. In this talk I will present recent work that suggests that the anti-D6-brane can be resolved in the same way by avoiding previous no-gos, and give numerical evidence that these solutions could be found...
