Abstract
We report on a new class of flux vacua generically present in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type-IIB string theory. At these vacua, the mass spectrum of the complete axio-dilaton/complex structure sector is given, to leading order in and , by a simple analytic formula independent of the choice of Calabi-Yau. We provide a method to find these vacua, and construct an ensemble of solutions for the Calabi-Yau hypersurface , where the masses of the axio-dilaton and the complex structure fields can be explicitly computed.
