4-D gauged supergravity analysis of Type IIB vacua on K3×T2/Z2K3\times T^2/Z_2K3×T2/Z2​ (original) (raw)

Abstract

We analyze N=2,1,0N=2,1,0N=2,1,0 vacua of type IIB string theory on K3timesT2/Z_2K3\times T^2/Z_2K3timesT2/Z_2 in presence of three-form fluxes from a four dimensional supergravity viewpoint. The quaternionic geometry of the K3K3K3 moduli space together with the special geometry of the NS and R-R dilatons and of the T2T^2T2-complex structure moduli play a crucial role in the analysis. The introduction of fluxes corresponds
