Twisting K3 x T^2 Orbifolds
Mirjam Cvetic, Tao Liu, Michael B. Schulz
We construct a class of geometric twists of Calabi-Yau manifolds of Voisin-Borcea type (K3 x T^2)/Z_2 and study the superpotential in a type IIA orientifold based on this geometry.…
Classification of Supersymmetric Flux Vacua in M Theory
Klaus Behrndt, Mirjam Cvetic, Tao Liu
We present a comprehensive classification of supersymmetric vacua of M-theory compactification on seven-dimensional manifolds with general four-form fluxes. We analyze the cases wh…
Standard-like Models as Type IIB Flux Vacua
Mirjam Cvetic, Tianjun Li, Tao Liu
We construct new semi-realistic Type IIB flux vacua on orientifolds with three- and four- Standard Model (SM) families and up to three units of quantized flux. The…
D6-brane Splitting on Type IIA Orientifolds
Mirjam Cvetic, Paul Langacker, Tianjun Li +1
We study the open-string moduli of supersymmetric D6-branes, addressing both the string and field theory aspects of D6-brane splitting on Type IIA orientifolds induced by open-stri…
Supersymmetric Pati-Salam Models from Intersecting D6-branes: A Road to the Standard Model
Mirjam Cvetic, Tianjun Li, Tao Liu
We provide a systematic construction of three-family N=1 supersymmetric Pati-Salam models from Type IIA orientifolds on $\IT^6/(\IZ_2\times \IZ_2)$ with intersecting D6-branes. All…
