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 کاملNo Forbidden Landscape in String/M-theory
Scale invariant but non-conformal field theories are forbidden in (1 + 1) dimension, and so should be the corresponding holographic dual gravity theories. We conjecture that such scale invariant but non-conformal field configurations do not exist in the string/M-theory. We provide a proof of this conjecture in the classical supergravity limit. Our proof does also apply in higher dimensional sca...
متن کاملWhere in the String Landscape is Quintessence
We argue that quintessence may reside in certain corners of the string landscape. It arises as a linear combination of internal space components of higher rank forms, which are axion-like at low energies, and may mix with 4-forms after compactification of the Chern-Simons terms to 4D due to internal space fluxes. The mixing induces an effective mass term, with an action which preserves the axio...
متن کاملAn Open String Landscape
The effect of fluxes on open string moduli is studied by analyzing the constraints imposed by supersymmetry on D-branes in type IIB flux backgrounds. We show that generically the conditions of supersymmetry cannot be maintained when moving along the geometrical moduli space of the brane, so that open string moduli are lifted. We argue that there is a disconnected and discrete set of supersymmet...
متن کاملMultiple Inflation, Cosmic String Networks and the String Landscape
Motivated by the string landscape we examine scenarios for which inflation is a two-step process, with a comparatively short inflationary epoch near the string scale and a longer period at a much lower energy (like the TeV scale). We quantify the number of e-foldings of inflation which are required to yield successful inflation within this picture. The constraints are very sensitive to the equa...
