FREEZING OF MODULI WITH FLUXES IN THREE-DIMENSIONS
Journal article, 2002

We study warped compactifications to three dimensions, realized as an orientifold of type IIA string theory on T7. By turning on 3- and 4-form fluxes on the torus in a supersymmetric way, we generate a potential for the moduli fields. We present various flux configurations with Image supersymmetries and count the number of moduli in each case. In particular, we show that there are Image configurations where all but one of the moduli are frozen.
