Distribution of Flux Vacua around Singular Points in Calabi-Yau Moduli Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the distribution of type IIB flux vacua in the moduli space near various singular loci, e.g. conifolds, ADE singularities on P, Argyres-Douglas point etc, using the AshokDouglas density det(R+ω). We find that the vacuum density is integrable around each of them, irrespective of the type of the singularities. We study in detail an explicit example of an Argyres-Douglas point embedded in a compact Calabi-Yau manifold.

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...

متن کاملOn the critical points of the entropic principle
In a recent paper, hep-th/0509109, Gukov et al. introduced an entropy functional on the moduli space of Calabi-Yau compactifications. The maxima of this functional are then interpreted as ’preferred’ Calabi-Yau compactifications. In this note we show that for compact Calabi-Yaus, all regular critical points of this entropic principle are maxima. 1 Are some vacua more equal than others? A featur...
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...
