Adding flavour to the Polchinski-Strassler background
Riccardo Apreda, Johanna Erdmenger, Dieter Lust +1
As an extension of holography with flavour, we analyze in detail the embedding of a D7-brane probe into the Polchinski-Strassler gravity background, in which the breaking of confor…
Four-dimensional String Compactifications with D-Branes, Orientifolds and Fluxes
Ralph Blumenhagen, Boris Kors, Dieter Lust +1
This review article provides a pedagogical introduction into various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes. The main concern is to…
Gaugino Condensates and D-terms from D7-branes
Michael Haack, Daniel Krefl, Dieter Lust +2
We investigate, at the microscopic level, the compatibility between D-term potentials from world-volume fluxes on D7-branes and non-perturbative superpotentials arising from gaugin…
Resolved Toroidal Orbifolds and their Orientifolds
D. Lust, S. Reffert, E. Scheidegger +1
We discuss the resolution of toroidal orbifolds. For the resulting smooth Calabi-Yau manifolds, we calculate the intersection ring and determine the divisor topologies. In a next s…
Moduli Stabilization in Type IIB Orientifolds (II)
D. Lust, S. Reffert, E. Scheidegger +2
We discuss general properties of moduli stablization in KKLT scenarios in type IIB orientifold compactifications. In particular, we find conditions for the Kaehler potential to all…
