Toroidal Orientifolds in IIA with General NS-NS Fluxes
Type IIA toroidal orientifolds offer a promising toolkit for model builders, especially when one includes not only the usual fluxes from NS-NS and R-R field strengths, but also fluxes that are T-dual to the NS-NS three-form flux. These new ingredients are known as metric fluxes and non-geometric fluxes, and can help stabilize moduli or can lead to other new features. In this paper we study two ...
متن کاملGeometry of Orientifolds with NS-NS B-flux
We discuss geometry underlying orientifolds with non-trivial NS-NS B-flux. If D-branes wrap a torus with B-flux the rank of the gauge group is reduced due to non-commuting Wilson lines whose presence is implied by the B-flux. In the case of D-branes transverse to a torus with B-flux the rank reduction is due to a smaller number of D-branes required by tadpole cancellation conditions in the pres...
متن کاملNon-perturbative K3 Orientifolds with NS-NS B-flux
We consider non-perturbative six dimensional N = 1 space-time supersymmetric orientifolds of Type IIB on K3 with non-trivial NS-NS B-flux. All of these models are non-perturbative in both orientifold and heterotic pictures. Thus, some states in such compactifications arise in “twisted” open string sectors which lack world-sheet description in terms of D-branes. We also discuss their dual F-theo...
متن کاملType IIB Orientifolds with NS-NS Antisymmetric Tensor Backgrounds
We consider six dimensional N = 1 space-time supersymmetric Type IIB orientifolds with non-zero untwisted NS-NS sector B-field. The B-field is quantized due to the requirement that the Type IIB spectrum be left-right symmetric. The presence of the B-field results in rank reduction of both 99 and 55 open string sector gauge groups. We point out that in some of the models with non-zero B-field th...
متن کاملNS-NS fluxes in Hitchin’s generalized geometry
The standard notion of NS-NS 3-form flux is lifted to Hitchin’s generalized geometry. This generalized flux is given in terms of an integral of a modified Nijenhuis operator over a generalized 3-cycle. Explicitly evaluating the generalized flux in a number of familiar examples, we show that it can compute three-form flux, geometric flux and non-geometric Q-flux. Finally, a generalized connectio...
