Flux compactifications in string theory: A Comprehensive review
Mariana Graña,Mariana Graña +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pedagogical overview of flux compactifications in string theory is presented, from the basic ideas to the most recent developments, focusing on closed-string fluxes in type-II theories.

Four-dimensional string compactifications with D-branes, orientifolds and fluxes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review article provides a pedagogical introduction to various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes with the main concern being to provide all necessary technical tools to explicitly construct four-dimensional orientifold vacua, with the final aim to come as close as possible to the supersymmetric standard model.

Flux Compactification
Michael R. Douglas,Shamit Kachru +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the landscape of string and M theory vacua can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the potential for testable consequences of this picture, such as observable effects of moduli, constraints on early cosmology, and predictions for the scale of supersymmetry breaking.

Large-volume flux compactifications: Moduli spectrum and D3/D7 soft supersymmetry breaking
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum of a general class of string models, corresponding to Calabi-Yau flux compactifications with h1,2 > h 1,1 > 1 with leading perturbative and non-perturbative corrections, in which all geometric moduli are stabilised as in [14], is presented.

De Sitter vacua in string theory
TL;DR: The metastable de Sitter vacua of type IIB string theory has been constructed in this article, which is a supersymmetric version of the ground state of the original ground state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchies from fluxes in string compactifications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the hierarchy of scales can be fixed by a choice of Ramond-Ramond and Neveu-Schwarz fluxes in the compact manifold, and give examples involving orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory and F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau fourfolds.

CFT's from Calabi–Yau four-folds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider F/M/Type IIA theory compactified to four, three, or two dimensions on a Calabi-Yau fourfold, and study the behavior near an isolated singularity in the presence of appropriate fluxes and branes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematics of moduli stabilisation in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of type IIB string theory, and they showed that there exists a limit in which the potential approaches zero from below, with an associated non-supersymmetric AdS minimum at exponentially large volume.

M theory, orientifolds and G - flux
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of M and F theory compactifications to three and four dimensions with background fluxes were studied and a simple construction of supersymmetric vacua, including some with orientifold descriptions, was provided.
