abstract

We describe a method for finding flux vacua of type IIB string theory in which the Gukov-Vafa-Witten superpotential is exponentially small. We present an example with $W_0 \approx 2 \times 10^{-8}$ on an orientifold of a Calabi-Yau hypersurface with $(h^{1,1},h^{2,1})=(2,272)$, at large complex structure and weak string coupling.

  1. Exploring Line Bundle Standard Models with Transformers

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A Transformer trained by reinforcement learning generates heterotic line-bundle sums that satisfy anomaly-cancellation, stability, and chirality constraints, and its policy transfers usefully across Calabi-Yau geometries.

  2. Flux Vacua Near the Boundary of Large Complex Structure

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near the boundary of large complex structure, the first worldsheet instanton can displace flux vacua significantly while higher instantons stay negligible, and such vacua are common in a bounded two-modulus scan.

  3. Solving inverse problems of Type IIB flux vacua with conditional generative models

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A conditional variational autoencoder trained on known Type IIB flux vacua can generate new physically valid flux vectors with targeted superpotential values faster than Metropolis sampling.

  4. Coexisting Flux String Vacua from Numerical K\"ahler Moduli Stabilisation

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Numerical scans of Type IIB compactifications find single scalar potentials containing coexisting KKLT/LVS and Kahler-uplifted/LVS minima, including AdS, Minkowski, and dS pairs.
