Flux compactifications on(S2)N [PDF]

open access: green, 2014
We investigate a simple extra-dimensional model and its four-dimensional vacua. This model has a two-form flux and a positive cosmological constant, and the extra dimensions are compactified as the product of $N$ two-spheres. The theory is an interesting

Flavor mixings in flux compactifications [PDF]

open access: green, 2017
A multiplicity of quark-lepton families can naturally arise as zero-modes in flux compactifications. The flavour structure of quark and lepton mass matrices is then determined by the wave function profiles of the zero-modes. We consider a supersymmetric $

Compactification with Flux and Yukawa Hierarchies [PDF]

open access: greenarXiv, 2003
Flux compactifications of $M$ theory on certain $G_2$-manifolds have vacua in which all moduli are determined.These vacua have discrete parameters - the flux quanta. Small changes in these quanta produce small changes in the moduli and these can lead to large changes in the Yukawa couplings between Higgses, quarks and leptons.

Massive IIA flux compactifications with dynamical open strings [PDF]

open access: greenJournal of High Energy Physics
We consider massive type IIA compactifications down to 4 dimensions in presence of O6 planes and D6 branes parallel to them, in order to preserve half-maximal supersymmetry in 4D.

Flux Compactifications on Calabi-Yau Threefolds [PDF]

open access: bronze, 2004
The presence of RR and NS three-form fluxes in type IIB string compactification on a Calabi-Yau orientifold gives rise to a nontrivial superpotential W for the dilaton and complex structure moduli. This superpotential is computable in terms of the period

Nonlinear dynamics of flux compactification

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
We study the nonlinear evolution of unstable flux compactifications, applying numerical relativity techniques to solve the Einstein equations in D dimensions coupled to a q-form field and positive cosmological constant. We show that initially homogeneous

F-theory flux vacua and attractor equations

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We examine the vacuum structure of 4D effective theories of moduli fields in spacetime compactifications with quantized background fluxes. Imposing the no-scale structure for the volume deformations, we numerically investigate the distributions of flux ...

Exceptional Flux Compactifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We consider type II (non-)geometric flux backgrounds in the absence of brane sources, and construct their explicit embedding into maximal gauged D=4 supergravity.

Small flux superpotential in F-theory compactifications [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. D 103, 126022 (2021), 2021
We investigate whether a class of models describing F-theory compactifications admits a specific type of flux vacua with an exponentially small vacuum expectation value of the superpotential, by generalizing a method recently developed in Type IIB flux compactifications.
