TL;DR
This paper analyzes the reduction of M-theory on warped Calabi-Yau fourfolds with flux, deriving the scalar and superpotential, and compares it with previous results by Gukov, Vafa, and Witten.
Contribution
It provides a detailed computation of the scalar and superpotential in M-theory compactifications with flux, confirming and extending prior results using different methods.
Findings
Derived explicit form of scalar and superpotential for flux compactifications.
Confirmed consistency with previous superpotential calculations.
Enhanced understanding of flux effects in M-theory on Calabi-Yau fourfolds.
Abstract
We perform the Kaluza-Klein reduction of M-theory on warped Calabi-Yau fourfolds with non-trivial four-form flux turned on. The resulting scalar- and superpotential is computed and compared with the superpotential obtained by Gukov, Vafa and Witten using different methods.
