The effective theory of type IIA AdS4 compactifications on nilmanifolds and cosets
Claudio Caviezel, Paul Koerber, Simon Kors +3
We consider string theory compactifications of the form AdS4 x M6 with orientifold six-planes, where M6 is a six-dimensional compact space that is either a nilmanifold or a coset.…
Comments on Orientifolds without Vector Structure
Constantin Bachas, Massimo Bianchi, Ralph Blumenhagen +2
We revisit type I compactifications with a Spin(32)/Z2 gauge bundle that admits no vector structure. We elucidate the relation of this Z2 obstruction to discrete B-field flux and t…
Update of D3/D7-Brane Inflation on K3 x T^2/Z_2
Michael Haack, Renata Kallosh, Axel Krause +3
We update the D3/D7-brane inflation model on K3 x T^2/Z_2 with branes and fluxes. For this purpose, we study the low energy theory including g_s corrections to the gaugino condensa…
