High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give an introduction to the statistical approach to studying vacua of string/M theory, and discuss recent results of Ashok and Douglas on counting supersymmetric flux vacua in type IIb Calabi-Yau compactification. To appear in the proceedings of the 2003 String Phenomenology workshop in Durham, UK.
