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.
