Toric manifolds for Flux compactification    [PDF]

Sujan P. Dabholkar

We study how to use smooth, compact toric varieties for supersymmetric $AdS_4$ flux compactifications using tools of SU(3) structures, similar to ${CP}^3$ solution. A non-vanishing globally well defined complex 3-form plays a key role in such constructions. Necessary topological conditions associated with it will be understood to put constraints on large class of these manifolds for supersymmetric flux compactification. Local analysis of SU(3)-structure is carried out, which might help to explore more flux vacua.
