Moduli Stabilization in Toroidal Type IIB Orientifolds

چکیده
We discuss the first step in the moduli stabilization program a la KKLT for a general class of resolved toroidal type IIB orientifolds. In particular, we discuss their geometry, the topology of the divisors relevant for the D3–brane instantons which can contribute to the superpotential, and some non–trivial aspects of the orientifold action.

Forbidden territories in the string landscape
Problems of stabilizing moduli of the type–IIB string theory on toroidal orientifolds T /Z2, in presence of worldvolume fluxes on various D-branes, are considered. For Z2 actions, introducing either O9 or O3 planes, we rule out the possibility of moduli stabilization in a wide class of models with N = 1 supersymmetry, characterized by the type of fluxes turned on along D-brane worldvolume. Our ...
متن کاملLoop Corrections to Volume Moduli and Inflation in String Theory
The recent progress in embedding inflation in string theory has made it clear that the problem of moduli stabilization cannot be ignored in this context. In many models a special role is played by the volume modulus, which is modified in the presence of mobile branes. The challenge is to stabilize this modified volume while keeping the inflaton mass small compared to the Hubble parameter. It is...
متن کاملModuli stabilization with non-Abelian fluxes
We study stabilization of moduli in the type–IIB superstring theory on the six-dimensional toroidal orientifold T6/Ω · (−1)L · Z2. We consider background space-filling D9-branes wrapped on the orientifold along with non-Abelian fluxes on its world-volume and demonstrate with two examples that this can stabilize all the complex structure moduli and some of the Kähler moduli. kumar(at) iopb (dot)...
متن کاملStandard-like Models as Type IIB Flux Vacua
We construct new semi-realistic Type IIB flux vacua on Z2 × Z2 orientifolds with threeand fourStandard Model (SM) families and up to three units of quantized flux. The open-string sector is comprised of magnetized D-branes and is T-dual to supersymmetric intersecting D6brane constructions. The SM sector contains magnetized D9-branes with negative D3-brane charge contribution. There are large cl...
متن کاملFlipped SU(5) From D-branes With Type IIB Fluxes
We construct flipped SU(5) GUT models as Type IIB flux vacua on Z2 × Z2 orientifolds. Turning on supergravity self-dual NSNS and RR three-form fluxes fixes the toroidal complex structure moduli and the dilaton. We give a specific example of a three-generation flipped SU(5) model with a complete Higgs sector where supersymmetry is softly broken by the supergravity fluxes in the closed string sec...
