Distributions of flux vacua

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-02-03 v2

Abstract

We give results for the distribution and number of flux vacua of various types, supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric, in IIb string theory compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds. We compare this with related problems such as counting attractor points.
