Title:	Magnetic fluxes and moduli stabilization in Type I superstrings
Authors:	Bianchi, Massimo Trevigne, Elisa
Issue Date:	30-Jul-2009
Abstract:	In this work we have discussed the effect of turning on constant electromagnetic fields on some direction of the compact manifold in type I models. From the beginning this subject has received much attention in the String comunity for both theoretical and phenomenological reasons. It suggested a new way of supersymmetry breaking, a notorius problem in String Theory, even in toroidal compactifications. This is a consequence of the different coupling of particles of different helicities to magnetic fields. The breaking occurs at string scale, which can be fixed at TeV scale in D-branes models avoiding the hierarchy problem. Over the last years, many efforts were addressed in the construction of String Theory vacua using internal \parallel" magnetic uxes on \factorizable" tori Td = T2 :::T2 or, in the T-dual framework, with branes intersecting at angle. The results presented here should have clarified several features of the dynamics of open strings coupled to \oblique" ma...
