Dictionary for the type II nongeometric flux compactifications

Abstract

We study the $T$-dual completion of the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ type II effective potentials in the presence of (non-)geometric fluxes. First, we invoke a cohomology version of the $T$-dual transformations among the various moduli, axions and the fluxes appearing in the type IIA and type IIB effective supergravities. This leads to some useful observations about a significant mixing of the standard NS-NS fluxes with the (non-)geometric fluxes on the mirror side. Further, using our $T$-duality rules, we establish an explicit mapping among the $F$-terms, $D$-terms, tadpole conditions as well as the Bianchi identities of the two theories. Secondly, we propose what we call a set of "axionic flux polynomials", which depend on all the axionic moduli and the fluxes. This subsequently helps in presenting the two scalar potentials in a concise and manifestly $T$-dual form, which can be directly utilized for various phenomenological purposes as we illustrate in a couple of examples.
