TH Journal Club on String Theory

Moduli stabilization with magnetized branes

by Ignatios Antoniadis (CERN)

Monday, 2 July 2007 from to (Europe/Zurich)
at CERN ( TH AMPHITHEATRE )
Description
The schedule for this Journal Club on String Theory will be as follows: 

1)  The latest news in the world of strings 

Please bring papers that caught your recent attention and briefly summarize motivations, methods and results. 

2) Moduli stabilization with magnetized branes 

Ignatios Antoniadis will lead a discussion on: 

"Moduli stabilization with magnetized branes" 

Abstract: The status of moduli stabilization with magnetized branes is summarized and the corresponding 
effective field theory is described. Two distinct possibilities are presented and possible physics applications 
are discussed: (1) supersymmetric minima with charged scalar vevs turned on; (2) supersymmetry 
breaking vacua in AdS spacetime.
