Supersymmetry and Stability of Flux Vacua
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a modified KKLT mechanism of moduli stabilization in a supersymmetric Minkowski vacuum state. In this mechanism, supersymmetry ensures vacuum stability and positivity of the mass matrix for the dilaton, complex structure, and volume modulus.

Constraints on Meta-stable de Sitter Flux Vacua
We consider flux compactification of type IIB string theory as the orientifold limit of an Ftheory on a Calabi-Yau fourfold. We show that when supersymmetry is dominantly broken by the axion-dilaton and the contributions of the F-terms associated with complex structure moduli are small, the Hessian of the flux potential always has tachyonic modes for de Sitter vacua. This implies that there exi...
متن کاملLow Energy Supersymmetry from Non-Geometry
We study a class of flux compactifications that have all the moduli stabilised, a high (GUT) string scale and a low (TeV) gravitino mass that is generated dynamically. These nongeometric compactifications correspond to type II string theories on SU(3)× SU(3) structure orientifolds. The resulting superpotentials admit, excluding non-perturbative effects, supersymmetric Minkowski vacua with any n...
متن کاملOn the Explicit Construction and Statistics of Calabi-Yau Flux Vacua
We explicitly construct and study the statistics of flux vacua for type IIB string theory on an orientifold of the Calabi-Yau hypersurface P[1,1,2,2,6], parametrised by two relevant complex structure moduli. We solve for these moduli and the dilaton field in terms of the set of integers defining the 3-form fluxes and examine the distribution of vacua. We compare our numerical results with the p...
متن کاملComputing the Spectrum of a Heterotic Flux Vacuum
We compute the massless spectra of a set of flux vacua of the heterotic string. The vacua we study include well-known non-Kähler T -fibrations over K3 with SU(3) structure and intrinsic torsion. Following gauged linear sigma models of these vacua into phases governed by asymmetric Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds allows us to compute the spectrum using generalizations of familiar LG-orbifold technique...
متن کاملBuilding MSSM Flux Vacua
We construct N = 1 and N = 0 chiral four-dimensional vacua of flux compactification in Type IIB string theory. These vacua have the common features that they are free of tadpole instabilities (both NSNS and RR) even for models with N = 0 supersymmetry. In addition, the dilaton/complex structure moduli are stabilised and the supergravity background metric is warped. We present an example in whic...
