Mass spectrum of type IIB flux compactifications — comments on AdS vacua and conformal dimensions [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In this note we study the mass spectrum of type IIB flux compactifications. We first give a general discussion of the mass matrix for F-term vacua in four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 supergravity theories and then specialize to type IIB Calabi ...

Smearing orientifolds in flux compactifications can be OK [PDF]
Classical and quantum gravity, 2020 We present explicit examples of supergravity solutions corresponding to backreacting localised (non-intersecting) O6 planes in flux reductions of massive IIA supergravity and address some criticism towards the very existence of such solutions.

Small flux superpotential in F-theory compactifications [PDF]
, 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 ...

Nonlinear dynamics of flux compactification
Journal 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
Journal 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 ...

Weakly-coupled IIA flux compactifications [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 We study compactifications of type IIA string theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds that are mirror to a subset of the type IIB LARGE-volume models. A combination of flux, alpha' corrections and non-perturbative effects stabilises the moduli in a non-supersymmetric AdS vacuum.

Systematics of moduli stabilisation in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications [PDF]
, 2005 We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential approaches zero from below, with an associated non ...

Dictionary for the type II nongeometric flux compactifications [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2019 We study the $T$-dual completion of the four-dimensional ${\cal N}=1$ type II effective potentials in the presence of (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we invoke a cohomology version of the $T$-dual transformations among the various moduli, axions and the ...
