Description
We discuss supersymmetry breaking compactifications in type IIA and we propose a new treatment of non-supersymmetric sources: for space-time filling supersymmetric branes, the energy density is minimized by a pullback of a special form given by a pure spinor. We propose to extremise the combined bulk-brane energy density by replacing the DBI action by a pullback of a polyform from the bulk, which is no longer pure.
