Dark Matter and Strong CP Problem in Type IIA String Theory
Abstract
We present a study of dark matter and the strong CP problem within a globally consistent framework of Type IIA string theory, compactified on a orientifold with intersecting D6-branes (Model A), for which we provide a complete moduli stabilization and supersymmetry breaking scenario based on the STU model and the KL mechanism. This setup naturally gives rise to a 3-generation MSSM-like spectrum with supersymmetry. Phenomenologically, the model predicts a multi-component dark matter scenario comprising both axions and neutralino. We also explore how to embed the four-form flux mechanism into Type IIA orientifold string theory model to address the strong CP problem. We compute the relic abundance of these candidates and explore their observational signatures. In conclusion, our analysis provides a concrete unified, UV-complete framework that successfully addresses two of the most important problems in particle physics and cosmology.
