Supersymmetry and F-theory realization of the deformed conifold with three-form flux

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates the supersymmetry of the Klebanov-Strassler deformed conifold solution with flux and provides an F-theory description involving a product of the conifold and a torus, with insights on RR backgrounds.

Contribution

It offers a new F-theory perspective on the deformed conifold with flux, confirming its supersymmetry and expanding understanding of warped compactifications.

Findings

The deformed conifold with flux is supersymmetric.

An F-theory description as a product of the conifold and a torus is established.

Remarks on Ramond-Ramond backgrounds and warped compactifications are included.

Abstract

It is shown that the deformed conifold solution with three-form flux, found by Klebanov and Strassler, is supersymmetric, and that it admits a simple F-theory description in terms of a direct product of the deformed conifold and a torus. Some general remarks on Ramond-Ramond backgrounds and warped compactifications are included.
