On effective action of string theory flux compactifications
We discuss four dimensional effective actions of string theory flux compactifications. These effective actions describe four dimensional gravity coupled to overall Kähler modulus of the compactification manifold. We demonstrate the agreement between ten dimensional equations of motion of supergravity with localized branes, and equations of motion derived from the effective action. The agreement...
متن کاملPhysics of String Flux Compactifications
We provide a qualitative review of flux compactifications of string theory, focusing on broad physical implications and statistical methods of analysis.
متن کاملFlux Compactifications of String Theory on Twisted Tori
Global aspects of Scherk-Schwarz dimensional reduction are discussed and it is shown that it can usually be viewed as arising from a compactification on the compact space obtained by identifying a (possibly non-compact) group manifold G under a discrete subgroup Γ, followed by a truncation. This allows a generalisation of ScherkSchwarz reductions to string theory or M-theory as compactification...
متن کاملFlux compactifications in string theory: a comprehensive review
We present a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory, from the basic ideas to the most recent developments. We concentrate on closed string fluxes in type II theories. We start by reviewing the supersymmetric flux configurations with maximally symmetric four-dimensional spaces. We then discuss the no-go theorems (and their evasion) for compactifications with fluxes. We a...
متن کاملOpen string wavefunctions in flux compactifications
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. These compactifications are T-dual to standard type IIB toroidal orientifolds with NSNS and RR 3-form fluxes and D3/D7 branes. By using techni...
