Warped Vacuum Statistics    [PDF]

Pontus Ahlqvist, Brian Greene, David Kagan
We consider the effect of warping on the distribution of type IIB flux vacua
constructed with Calabi-Yau orientifolds. We derive an analytical form of the
distribution that incorporates warping and find close agreement with the
results of a Monte Carlo enumeration of vacua. Compared with calculations that
neglect warping, we find that for any finite volume compactification, the
density of vacua is highly diluted in close proximity to the conifold point,
with a steep drop-off within a critical distance.
