Universal properties of type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications at large complex structure [PDF]
A bstractWe consider flux compactifications of type IIB string theory and F-theory in which the respective superpotentials at large complex structure are dominated by cubic or quartic terms in the complex structure moduli.

New non-supersymmetric flux vacua in string theory
In this note we construct large ensembles of supersymmetry breaking solutions arising in the context of flux compactifications of type IIB string theory.

Flux compactifications in Einstein-Born-Infeld theories [PDF]
We investigate the flux compactification mechanism in simple toy models of Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. These are the direct generalizations of the Einstein-Maxwell flux compactifications that recently gained fame as a toy model for tunneling in the ...

Hypercharge flux in heterotic compactifications
We study heterotic Calabi-Yau models with hypercharge flux breaking, where the visible E8 gauge group is directly broken to the standard model group by a non-flat gauge bundle, rather than by a two-step process involving an intermediate grand unified theory and a Wilson line.

Compactifying 5d superconformal field theories to 3d
Building on recent progress in the study of compactifications of 6d (1, 0) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on Riemann surfaces to 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 theories, we initiate a systematic study of compactifications of 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1

Helical phase inflation via non-geometric flux compactifications: from natural to starobinsky-like inflation [PDF]
A bstractWe show that a new class of helical phase inflation models can be simply realized in minimal supergravity, wherein the inflaton is the phase component of a complex field and its potential admits a deformed helicoid structure.

On flux compactification and moduli stabilization [PDF]
We study the effect of adding charged matter fields to both D3 and D7 branes in type IIB string theory compactification with fluxes. Generically, charged matter fields induce additional terms to the Kahler form, the superpotential and the D-terms. These terms allow for minima with positive or zero cosmological constants, even in the absence of non ...

Fluxes in exceptional field theory and threebrane sigma-models
Starting from a higher Courant bracket associated to exceptional generalized geometry, we provide a systematic derivation of all types of fluxes and their Bianchi identities for four-dimensional compactifications of M-theory.
