Open string wavefunctions in flux compactifications

open access: yes, 2009
We consider compactifications of type I supergravity on manifolds with SU(3) structure, in the presence of RR fluxes and magnetized D9-branes, and analyze the generalized Dirac and Laplace-Beltrami operators associated to the D9-brane worldvolume fields.

Meromorphic flux compactification

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We present exact solutions of four-dimensional Einstein’s equations related to Minkoswki vacuum constructed from Type IIB string theory with non-trivial fluxes.

Massive IIA flux compactifications and U-dualities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We attempt to find a rigorous formulation for the massive type IIA orientifold compactifications of string theory introduced in hep-th/0505160. An approximate double T-duality converts this background into IIA string theory on a twisted torus, but ...

Consistent truncation and de Sitter space from gravitational instantons

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We construct a four-dimensional consistent truncation to the bosonic part of the universal sector of Calabi-Yau IIA compactification (i.e. the gravity multiplet, one vectormultiplet, and one hypermultiplet) in the presence of background flux and ...

Type IIB flux compactifications on twistor bundles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We construct a U(1) bundle over N(1,1), usually considered as an SO(3) bundle over CP^2, and show that type IIB supergravity can be consistently compactified over it.

Lectures on Gauged Supergravity and Flux Compactifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The low-energy effective theories describing string compactifications in the presence of fluxes are so-called gauged supergravities: deformations of the standard abelian supergravity theories. The deformation parameters can be identified with the various

Gauged Supergravities and the Physics of Extra Dimensions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
This thesis analyses gauged supergravities in various dimensions and their possible origin from compactifications of string theory. In the effective description the fluxes appear in the theory as deformation parameters generating a potential for the scalar fields.

Bubbles of Nothing in Flux Compactifications

open access: yes, 2010
We construct a simple AdS_4 x S^1 flux compactification stabilized by a complex scalar field winding the extra dimension and demonstrate an instability via nucleation of a bubble of nothing. This occurs when the Kaluza -- Klein dimension degenerates to a
