RR Flux on Calabi-Yau and Partial Supersymmetry Breaking
T.R. Taylor, C. Vafa
TL;DR
This paper explores how RR and NS-NS fluxes on non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds can induce partial supersymmetry breaking from N=2 to N=1 through mass deformation, affecting moduli stabilization.
Contribution
It demonstrates the mechanism by which fluxes cause partial supersymmetry breaking and moduli freezing in non-compact Calabi-Yau geometries.
Findings
Fluxes induce partial supersymmetry breaking from N=2 to N=1.
Moduli are stabilized by flux-induced mass deformations.
The approach connects flux compactifications with supersymmetry breaking mechanisms.
Abstract
We show how turning on Flux for RR (and NS-NS) field strengths on non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds can serve as a way to partially break supersymmetry from N=2 to N=1 by mass deformation. The freezing of the moduli of Calabi-Yau in the presence of the flux is the familiar phenomenon of freezing of fields in supersymmetric theories upon mass deformations.
