Domain walls, near-BPS bubbles, and probabilities in the landscape
Anna Ceresole, Gianguido Dall'Agata, Alexander Giryavets +2
We develop a theory of static BPS domain walls in stringy landscape and present a large family of BPS walls interpolating between different supersymmetric vacua. Examples include K…
New Attractors and Area Codes
Alexander Giryavets
In this note we give multiple examples of the recently proposed New Attractors describing supersymmetric flux vacua and non-supersymmetric extremal black holes in IIB string theory…
Type IIA Moduli Stabilization
Oliver DeWolfe, Alexander Giryavets, Shamit Kachru +1
We demonstrate that flux compactifications of type IIA string theory can classically stabilize all geometric moduli. For a particular orientifold background, we explicitly construc…
Enumerating Flux Vacua with Enhanced Symmetries
Oliver DeWolfe, Alexander Giryavets, Shamit Kachru +1
We study properties of flux vacua in type IIB string theory in several simple but illustrative models. We initiate the study of the relative frequencies of vacua with vanishing sup…
On the Taxonomy of Flux Vacua
A. Giryavets, S. Kachru, P. K. Tripathy
We investigate several predictions about the properties of IIB flux vacua on Calabi-Yau orientifolds, by constructing and characterizing a very large set of vacua in a specific exa…
Flux Compactifications on Calabi-Yau Threefolds
Alexander Giryavets, Shamit Kachru, Prasanta K. Tripathy +1
The presence of RR and NS three-form fluxes in type IIB string compactification on a Calabi-Yau orientifold gives rise to a nontrivial superpotential W for the dilaton and complex…
