Hierarchies from Fluxes in String Compactifications
, 2002
"... Warped compactifications with significant warping provide one of the few known mechanisms for naturally generating large hierarchies of physical scales. We demonstrate that this mechanism is realizable in string theory, and give examples involving orientifold compactifications of IIB string theory a ..."

and F-theory compactifications on Calabi-Yau four-folds. In each case, the hierarchy of scales is fixed by a choice of RR and NS fluxes in the compact manifold. Our solutions involve compactifications of the Klebanov-Strassler gravity dual to a confining N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theory
Dual polyhedra and mirror symmetry for Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties
- J. Alg. Geom
, 1994
"... We consider families F(∆) consisting of complex (n − 1)-dimensional projective algebraic compactifications of ∆-regular affine hypersurfaces Zf defined by Laurent polynomials f with a fixed n-dimensional Newton polyhedron ∆ in n-dimensional algebraic torus T = (C ∗ ) n. If the family F(∆) defined by ..."

Kodaira-Spencer theory of gravity and exact results for quantum string amplitudes
- Commun. Math. Phys
, 1994
"... We develop techniques to compute higher loop string amplitudes for twisted N = 2 theories with ĉ = 3 (i.e. the critical case). An important ingredient is the discovery of an anomaly at every genus in decoupling of BRST trivial states, captured to all orders by a master anomaly equation. In a particu ..."

’ of holomorphic curves of higher genus curves in Calabi–Yau manifolds. It is shown that topological amplitudes can also be reinterpreted as computing corrections to superpotential terms appearing in the effective 4d theory resulting from compactification of standard 10d superstrings on the corresponding N = 2
Systematics of moduli stabilisation in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications
- JHEP
, 2005
"... We study the large volume limit of the scalar potential in Calabi-Yau flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. Under general circumstances there exists a limit in which the potential approaches zero from below, with an associated non-supersymmetric AdS minimum at exponentially large volume. ..."

Flux Compactifications on Calabi-yau Threefolds
, 2004
"... The presence of RR and NS three-form fluxes in type IIB string compactification on a Calabi-Yau orientifold gives rise to a nontrivial superpotential W for the dilaton and complex structure moduli. This superpotential is computable in terms of the period integrals of the Calabi-Yau manifold. In this ..."

String compactifications on Calabi-Yau stacks
, 2005
"... In this paper we study string compactifications on Deligne-Mumford stacks. The basic idea is that all such stacks have presentations to which one can associate gauged sigma models, where the group gauged need be neither finite nor effectively-acting. Such presentations are not unique, and lead to ph ..."

Negative Energy Density in Calabi-Yau Compactifications
, 2003
"... We show that a large class of supersymmetric compactifications, including all simply connected Calabi-Yau and G2 manifolds, have classical configurations with negative energy density as seen from four dimensions. In fact, the energy density can be arbitrarily negative – it is unbounded from below. N ..."
