Fixing All Moduli in a Simple F-Theory Compactification
read the original abstract
We discuss a simple example of an F-theory compactification on a Calabi-Yau fourfold where background fluxes, together with nonperturbative effects from Euclidean D3 instantons and gauge dynamics on D7 branes, allow us to fix all closed and open string moduli. We explicitly check that the known higher order corrections to the potential, which we neglect in our leading approximation, only shift the results by a small amount. In our exploration of the model, we encounter interesting new phenomena, including examples of transitions where D7 branes absorb O3 planes, while changing topology to preserve the net D3 charge.

Constraining F-theory Model Building with QCD Axions
F-theory models with the Standard Model spectrum are constrained by QCD axion physics, yielding typical detectable axion masses around 10^{-9} eV and decay constants around 10^{15} GeV in allowed regions.

Constraining F-theory Model Building with QCD Axions
QCD axions constrain F-theory base threefolds to have rigid or flux-rigidified divisors, yielding typical axion masses around 10^{-9} eV and decay constants near 10^{15} GeV in allowed regions.
