Stabilization of moduli by fluxes
arXiv:hep-th/0503129 · doi:10.1002/prop.200410208
Abstract
In order to lift the continuous moduli space of string vacua, non-trivial fluxes may be the essential input. In this talk I summarize aspects of two approaches to compactifications in the presence of fluxes: (i) generalized Scherk-Schwarz reductions and gauged supergravity and (ii) the description of flux-deformed geometries in terms of G-structures and intrinsic torsion.
