Abstract

We review the results of arxiv:0704.0730, a string theory test of the phenomenologically interesting large volume scenario (LVS) of Balasubramanian et al. In particular, we consider whether the LVS expansion of the string effective action is consistent when the open string one‐loop corrections due to D‐branes and O‐planes are taken into account. The result is that LVS is surprisingly robust. We also review the computation of soft supersymmetry breaking terms, which is only modified at subleading order.

## Abstract Smooth, compact toric varieties (SCTV) can admit a reduced structure group, and thus be suitable as internal manifolds in flux compactifications. We review the construction of SU(3) structures on three‐dimensional SCTV proposed in [1]. We summarise the techniques used to construct the r

## Abstract We investigate the construction of non‐supersymmetric vacua in compactifications of heterotic string theory with intrinsic torsion and background fluxes. We do this by using the technique of __domain‐wall supersymmetry breaking__ (DWSB) that was developed in the context of type II compa

## Abstract Summarizing the results of [1], we discuss the four‐dimensional effective approach to type II N = 1 supersymmetric flux compactifications with general SU(3) × SU(3)‐structure. In particular, we study the effect of a non‐trivial warp factor, which we argue leads naturally to a supergravi
