    Description
    Using a low energy effective description we discuss Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory in the presence of a space-time filling D7-brane. Instead of specifying a particular Calabi-Yau orientifold we extract generic features of these theories such as the Kähler potential, gauge kinetic coupling functions and the scalar potential for the corresponding supergravity description. Finally we relate the Kähler geometry of these theories to N = 1 special geometry.
