Dilaton stabilization in KKLT revisited
arXiv:2103.00811 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2021.115452
Abstract
We study the condition for the dilaton stabilization in Type IIB flux compactifications consistent with the KKLT scenario. Since the Gukov-Vafa-Witten superpotential depends linearly on the dilaton, the dilaton mass squared is given by a sum of the gravitino mass squared and additional terms determined by the complex structure moduli stabilization. If the dilaton mass is not much enhanced from the gravitino mass, the mass mixing with the Kähler modulus in the presence of the non-perturbative effect generates the saddle point at the supersymmetric field values, hence the potential becomes unstable. When the complex structure moduli other than the conifold modulus are neglected, the saddle point problem arises over the controllable parameter space. We also point out that the dilaton stabilization condition is equivalent to the condition on the NS 3-form fluxes, .
