On supersymmetric Minkowski vacua in IIB orientifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
Supersymmetric Minkowski vacua in IIB orientifold compactifications based on orbifolds with background fluxes and non-perturbative superpotentials are investigated. Especially, microscopic requirements and difficulties to obtain such vacua are discussed. We show that orbifold models with one and two complex structure moduli and supersymmetric 2-form flux can be successfully stabilized to such vacua. By taking additional gaugino condensation on fixed space-time filling D3-branes into account also models without complex structure can be consistently stabilized to Minkowski vacua.

Low 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 کاملType IIB Orientifolds, F-theory, Type I Strings on Orbifolds and Type I - Heterotic Duality
We consider six and four dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric orientifolds of Type IIB compactified on orbifolds. We give the conditions under which the perturbative world-sheet orientifold approach is adequate, and list the four dimensional N = 1 orientifolds (which are rather constrained) that satisfy these conditions. We argue that in most cases orientifolds contain non-perturbative sectors that...
متن کاملTowards Minkowski Vacua in Type II String Compactifications
We study the vacuum structure of compactifications of type II string theories on orientifolds with SU(3) × SU(3) structure. We argue that generalised geometry enables us to treat these non-geometric compactifications using a supergravity analysis in a way very similar to geometric compactifications. We find supersymmetric Minkowski vacua with all the moduli stabilised at weak string coupling an...

We report on the gauged supergravity analysis of Type IIB vacua on K3 × T 2 /Z 2 orientifold in the presence of D3 − D7–branes and fluxes. We discuss supersymmetric critical points correspond to Minkowski vacua and the related fixing of moduli, finding agreement with previous analysis. An important role is played by the choice of the symplectic holomorphic sections of special geometry which ent...
متن کاملType IIB Orientifolds without Untwisted Tadpoles, and non-BPS D-branes
We discuss the construction of sixand four-dimensional Type IIB orientifolds with vanishing untwisted RR tadpoles, but generically non-zero twisted RR tadpoles. Tadpole cancellation requires the introduction of D-brane systems with zero untwisted RR charge, but non-zero twisted RR charges. We construct explicit models containing branes and antibranes at fixed points of the internal space, or no...
