Maximal Temperature in Flux Compactifications
Wilfried Buchmuller, Koichi Hamaguchi, Oleg Lebedev, Michael Ratz
TL;DR
This paper investigates how thermal effects influence flux compactifications, revealing a maximal temperature linked to supersymmetry breaking, which causes decompactification beyond this limit.
Contribution
It extends previous analyses to flux compactifications, demonstrating the universal role of supersymmetry breaking scale in determining the maximal temperature.
Findings
Maximal temperature is controlled by the supersymmetry breaking scale.
Thermal corrections can lead to decompactification of extra dimensions.
The analysis applies broadly to flux compactification scenarios.
Abstract
Thermal corrections have an important effect on moduli stabilization leading to the existence of a maximal temperature, beyond which the compact dimensions decompactify. In this note, we discuss generality of our earlier analysis and apply it to the case of flux compactifications. The maximal temperature is again found to be controlled by the supersymmetry breaking scale, T_{crit} \sim \sqrt{m_{3/2} M_P}.
