The structure of stringy quantum corrections to four-dimensional effective theories is particularly interesting for string phenomenology and attempts to stabilize moduli. We consider the heterotic string compactified on a Calabi-Yau space.…
In a recent paper, we derived the leading alpha' corrections to the Kahler potentials for moduli in (0,2) heterotic compactifications. In the same spirit as the LARGE volume stabilization scenario for type IIB orientifolds, we examine…
We discuss prospects for stabilizing the volume modulus of N=1 supersymmetric type IIB orientifold compactifications using only perturbative corrections to the Kahler potential. Concretely, we consider the known string loop corrections and…
We continue our analysis of quantum corrections in the complex structure moduli space of four-dimensional Type IIB/F-theory compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry. We find that limits in the complex structure moduli space of F-theory…
In this work we analyze F-theory and Type IIB orientifold compactifications to study $\alpha '$-corrections to the four-dimensional, $\mathcal{N} = 1$ effective actions. In particular, we obtain corrections to the K\"ahlermoduli space…
We consider N=1 F-theory and Type IIB orientifold compactifications and derive new \alpha' corrections to the four-dimensional effective action. They originate from higher derivative corrections to eleven-dimensional supergravity and…
Extracting reliable low-energy information from string compactifications notoriously requires a detailed understanding of the UV sensitivity of the corresponding effective field theories. Despite past efforts in computing perturbative…
In this work we investigate the moduli stabilisation problem and the requirements for de Sitter vacua within the framework of type IIB string theory. Using perturbative effects arising from the various sources such as $\alpha^\prime$…
We analyse a new ${\cal N}=1$ string tree level correction at ${\cal O}(\alpha'^2)$ to the K\"ahler potential of the volume moduli of type IIB Calabi-Yau flux compactification found recently by Grimm, Savelli and…
The r\^ole of string loop corrections on the existence of de Sitter vacua and the moduli stabilization problem is examined in type IIB effective theories. The fundamental building blocks are a minimum of three intersecting D7 brane stacks,…
To compute the string one-loop correction to the Kahler potential of moduli fields of string compactifications in Einstein-frame, one must compute: the string one-loop correction to the Einstein-Hilbert action, the string one-loop…
We study heterotic string compactifications on nearly K\"ahler homogeneous spaces, including the gauge field effects which arise at order \alpha'. Using Abelian gauge fields, we are able to solve the Bianchi identity and supersymmetry…
We study the problem of identifying the moduli fields in fermionic four-dimensional string models. We deform a free-fermionic model by introducing exactly marginal operators in the form of Abelian Thirring interactions on the world-sheet,…
We investigate quantum corrections to the classical four-dimensional low-energy effective action of type II string theory compactified on SU(3) structure geometries. Various methods previously developed for Calabi-Yau compactifications are…
Using constraints from supersymmetry and string perturbation theory, we determine the string loop corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space of type II strings compactified on a generic Calabi-Yau threefold. The corresponding…
We study F-theory duals of six dimensional heterotic vacua in extreme regions of moduli space where the heterotic string is very strongly coupled. We demonstrate how to use orientifold limits of these F-theory duals to regain a perturbative…
The perturbative prepotential and the K\"ahler metric of the vector multiplets of the N=2 effective low-energy heterotic strings is calculated directly in N=1 six-dimensional toroidal compactifications of the heterotic string vacua. This…
The properties of the effective scalar potential are studied in the framework of type IIB string theory, taking into account perturbative and non-perturbative corrections. The former modify the K\"ahler potential and include $\alpha'$ and…
The perturbative prepotential and the K\"ahler metric of the vector multiplets of the N=2 effective low-energy heterotic strings is calculated directly in N=1 six-dimensional toroidal compactifications of the heterotic string vacua. This…
We analyze N=2 (perturbative and non-perturbative) corrections to the effective theory in type I orbifold models where a dual heterotic description is available. These corrections may play an important role in phenomenological scenarios.…
