Moduli stabilization with non-Abelian fluxes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study stabilization of moduli in the type–IIB superstring theory on the six-dimensional toroidal orientifold T6/Ω · (−1)L · Z2. We consider background space-filling D9-branes wrapped on the orientifold along with non-Abelian fluxes on its world-volume and demonstrate with two examples that this can stabilize all the complex structure moduli and some of the Kähler moduli. kumar(at) iopb (dot) res (dot) in subir(at) iopb (dot) res (dot) in koushik(at) iacs (dot) res (dot) in

Moduli Stabilization in Chiral Type IIB Orientifold Models with Fluxes
We consider Type IIB orientifold models on Calabi-Yau spaces with three-form G-flux turned on. These fluxes freeze some of the complex structure moduli and the complex dilaton via an F-term scalar potential. By introducing pairs of D9-D9 branes with abelian magnetic fluxes it is possible to freeze also some of the Kähler moduli via a D-term potential. Moreover, such magnetic fluxes in general l...
متن کاملForbidden territories in the string landscape
Problems of stabilizing moduli of the type–IIB string theory on toroidal orientifolds T /Z2, in presence of worldvolume fluxes on various D-branes, are considered. For Z2 actions, introducing either O9 or O3 planes, we rule out the possibility of moduli stabilization in a wide class of models with N = 1 supersymmetry, characterized by the type of fluxes turned on along D-brane worldvolume. Our ...
متن کاملStabilization of moduli by fluxes
One of the major problem appearing in compactifications of string theory, is the emergence of a continuous moduli space of string vacua. In order to get contact, not only to the standard model of particle physics, but also to (inflationary) cosmology, these moduli have to be fixed and if supersymmetry is broken only at fairly low energies, we have to understand the mechanism while preserving at...
متن کاملNon - Abelian Flux Tubes in N = 1 SQCD : Supersizing World - Sheet Supersymmetry
We consider non-Abelian 1/2 BPS flux tubes (strings) in a deformed N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theory, with mass terms µ 1,2 of the adjoint fields breaking N = 2 down to N = 1. The main feature of the non-Abelian strings is the occurrence of orientational moduli associated with the possibility of rotations of their color fluxes inside a global SU(N) group. The bulk four-dimensional theory has fo...
متن کاملD terms from D-branes, gauge invariance and moduli stabilization in flux compactifications
We elucidate the structure of D terms in N = 1 orientifold compactifications with fluxes. As a case study, we consider a simple orbifold of the type-IIA theory with D6-branes at angles, O6-planes and general NSNS, RR and Scherk-Schwarz geometrical fluxes. We examine in detail the emergence of D terms, in their standard supergravity form, from an appropriate limit of the D-brane action. We deriv...
