Twisted Moduli Stabilization in Type I String Models

TL;DR

This paper investigates the stabilization mechanisms of twisted moduli and dilaton fields in type I string models, highlighting differences in their stabilization processes and implications for string phenomenology.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of twisted moduli stabilization distinct from dilaton stabilization within type I string models.

Findings

Twisted moduli stabilization exhibits unique features compared to dilaton stabilization.

The study provides insights into the vacuum expectation values of moduli fields.

Implications for string model building and phenomenology are discussed.

Abstract

We consider the model with the dilaton and twisted moduli fields, which is inspired by type I string models. Stabilization of their vacuum expectation values is studied. We find the stabilization of the twisted moduli field has different aspects from the dilaton stabilization.
