Heterotic Flux Compactifications and Their Moduli
We study supersymmetric compactification to four dimensions with non-zero H-flux in heterotic string theory. The background metric is generically conformally balanced and can be conformally Kähler if the primitive part of the H-flux vanishes. Analyzing the linearized variational equations, we write down necessary conditions for the existence of moduli associated with the metric. In a heterotic ...
متن کاملSystematics of Moduli Stabilisation in Calabi-Yau Flux Compactifications
We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential approaches zero from below, with an associated non-supersymmetric AdS minimum at exponentially large volume. Both this and its de Sitter uplift are tachyon-free, thereby fixing all Kähler and complex struc...
متن کاملFluxes in Heterotic and Type II String Compactifications
In this paper we consider heterotic compactifications on K3 × T as well as type II compactifications on K3-fibred Calabi-Yau spaces with certain fluxes for the gauge and RR field strengths F and H turned on. By providing an identification of corresponding fluxes we show that the well-known N = 2 heterotic/type II string-string duality still holds for a subset of all possible fluxes, namely thos...
متن کاملThreshold Corrections in K3× T2 Heterotic String Compactifications
Abstract We consider compactifications of the heterotic string on K3×T2 so that the resulting theory in d = 4 space-time dimensions has N = 2 supersymmetry. The gravitational and gauge coupling constants of the low-energy effective theory receive threshold corrections from loops of super-heavy string states. We calculate these corrections for the case when the K3-surface is a Zn orbifold of a f...
متن کاملBPS Action and Superpotential for Heterotic String Compactifications with Fluxes
We consider N = 1 compactifications to four dimensions of heterotic string theory in the presence of fluxes. We show that up to order O (α) the associated action can be written as a sum of squares of BPS-like quantities. In this way we prove that the equations of motion are solved by backgrounds which fulfill the supersymmetry conditions and the Bianchi identities. We also argue for the express...
