General N=1 supersymmetric flux vacua of massive type IIA string theory.

چکیده
We derive conditions for the existence of four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric flux vacua of massive type IIA string theory with general supergravity fluxes turned on. For an SU(3) singlet Killing spinor, we show that such flux vacua exist when the internal geometry is nearly Kähler. The geometry is not warped, all the allowed fluxes are proportional to the mass parameter, and the dilaton is fixed by a ratio of (quantized) fluxes. The four-dimensional cosmological constant, while negative, becomes small in the vacuum with the weak string coupling.

AdS Vacua, Attractor Mechanism and Generalized Geometries
We consider flux vacua attractor equations in type IIA string theory compactified on generalized geometries with orientifold projections. The four-dimensional N = 1 superpotential in this compactification can be written as the sum of the Ramond-Ramond superpotential and a term described by (non)geometric flux charges. We exhibit a simple model in which supersymmetric AdS and Minkowski solutions...
متن کاملIIA String Theory on Calabi-Yau Fourfolds with Background Fluxes
Looking for string vacua with fixed moduli, we study compactifications of type IIA string theory on Calabi-Yau fourfolds in the presence of generic Ramond-Ramond fields. We explicitly derive the (super)potential induced by Ramond-Ramond fluxes performing a Kaluza-Klein reduction of the ten-dimensional effective action. This can be conveniently achieved in a formulation of the massive type IIA s...
متن کاملMassive Type IIA String Theory
We study conditions on general fluxes of massive Type IIA supergravity that lead to four-dimensional backgrounds with N = 1 supersymmetry. We derive these conditions in the case of SU(3)as well as SU(2)-structures. SU(3)-structures imply that the internal space is constrained to be a nearly Kähler manifold with all the turned on fluxes, and the negative cosmological constant proportional to the...
متن کاملRealization of AdS Vacua in Attractor Mechanism on Generalized Geometry
We evaluate flux vacua attractor equations in type IIA string theory compactified on generalized geometry with orientifold projection. This model provides N = 1 superpotential as a sum of the Ramond-Ramond superpotential and the one described by the (non)geometric flux charges. We demonstrate a single modulus model in which supersymmetric AdS and Minkowski solutions are classified by means of t...
