Surveying Standard Model Flux Vacua on T 6 / Z 2 ×

چکیده

We consider the SU(2)L × SU(2)R Standard Model brane embedding in an orientifold of T /Z2×Z2. Within defined limits, we construct all such Standard Model brane embeddings and determine the relative number of flux vacua for each construction. Supersymmetry preserving brane recombination in the hidden sector enables us to identify many solutions with high flux. We discuss in detail the phenomenology of one model which is likely to dominate the counting of vacua. While Kähler moduli stabilization remains to be fully understood, we define the criteria necessary for generic constructions to have fixed moduli. hep-th/0506252 June 2005

We study the number of flux vacua for type IIB string theory on an orientifold of the Calabi-Yau expressed as a hypersurface in WCP 4 [1, 1, 2, 2, 6] by evaluating a suitable integral over the complex-structure moduli space as per the conjecture of Douglas and Ashok. We show that away from the singular conifold locus, one gets a power law, and that the (neighborhood) of the conifold locus indee...

Les Houches Lectures on Constructing String Vacua

These lectures give a detailed introduction to constructing and analyzing string vacua suitable for phenomenological model building, with particular emphasis on F-theory flux vacua. Topics include (1) general challenges and overview of some proposed scenarios, (2) an extensive introduction to F-theory and its relation to M-theory and perturbative IIB string theory, (3) F-theory flux vacua and m...

D6-branes and torsion

The D6-brane spectrum of type IIA vacua based on twisted tori T̃ 6 and RR background fluxes is analyzed. In particular, we compute the torsion factors of Hn(T̃ 6,Z) and describe the effect that they have on D6-brane physics. For instance, the fact that H3(T̃ 6,Z) contains ZN subgroups explains why RR tadpole conditions are affected by geometric fluxes. In addition, the presence of torsional (co)ho...

The F - theory geometry with most flux vacua

Applying the Ashok-Denef-Douglas estimation method to elliptic Calabi-Yau fourfolds suggests that a single elliptic fourfold Mmax gives rise to O(10272,000) F-theory flux vacua, and that the sum total of the numbers of flux vacua from all other F-theory geometries is suppressed by a relative factor of O(10−3000). The fourfoldMmax arises from a generic elliptic fibration over a specific toric th...
