We examine the vacuum structure of 4D effective theories of moduli fields in spacetime compactifications with quantized background fluxes. Imposing the no-scale structure for the volume deformations, we numerically investigate the distributions of flux vacua of the effective potential in complex structure moduli and axio-dilaton directions for two explicit examples in Type IIB string theory and F-theory compactifications. It turns out that distributions of non-supersymmetric flux vacua exhibit a non-increasing functional behavior of several on-shell quantities with respect to the string coupling. We point out that this phenomena can be deeply connected with a previously-reported possible correspondence between the flux vacua in moduli stabilization problem and the attractor mechanism in supergravity, and our explicit demonstration implies that such a correspondence generically exist even in the framework of F-theory. In particular, we confirm that the solutions of the effective potential we explicitly evaluated in Type IIB and F-theory flux compactifications indeed satisfy the generalized form of the attractor equations simultaneously.

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 Kahlermoduli space metric and its compl
ex structure for generic dimension originating from eight-derivative corrections to eleven-dimensional supergravity. We propose a completion of the $G^ 2 R^3$ and $( abla G)^2R^2$-sector in eleven-dimensions relevant in Calabi--Yau fourfold reductions. We suggest that the three-dimensional, $mathcal{N}=2$ Kahler coordinates may be expressed as topological integrals depending on the first, second, and third Chern-forms of the divisors of the internal Calabi--Yau fourfold. The divisor integral Ansatz for the Kahler potential and Kahler coordinates may be lifted to four-dimensional, $mathcal{N} = 1$ F-theory vacua. We identify a novel correction to the Kahler potential and coordinates at order $ alpha^2$, which is leading compared to other known corrections in the literature. At weak string coupling the correction arises from the intersection of $D7$-branes and $O7$-planes with base divisors and the volume of self-intersection curves of divisors in the base. In the presence of the conjectured novel $alpha$-correction resulting from the divisor interpretation the no-scale structure may be broken. Furthermore, we propose a model independent scenario to achieve non-supersymmetric AdS vacua for Calabi-Yau orientifold backgrounds with negative Euler-characteristic.
In recent work, we conjectured that Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over $mathbb{Q}$ and admitting a supersymmetric flux compactification are modular, and associated to (the Tate twists of) weight-two cuspidal Hecke eigenforms. In this work, we will ad
dress two natural follow-up questions, of both a physical and mathematical nature, that are surprisingly closely related. First, in passing from a complex manifold to a rational variety, as we must do to study modularity, we are implicitly choosing a rational model for the threefold; how do different choices of rational model affect our results? Second, the same modular forms are associated to elliptic curves over $mathbb{Q}$; are these elliptic curves found anywhere in the physical setup? By studying the F-theory uplift of the supersymmetric flux vacua found in the compactification of IIB string theory on (the mirror of) the Calabi-Yau hypersurface $X$ in $mathbb{P}(1,1,2,2,2)$, we find a one-parameter family of elliptic curves whose associated eigenforms exactly match those associated to $X$. Actually, we find two such families, corresponding to two different choices of rational models for the same family of Calabi-Yaus.
We present the simplest model for classical transitions in flux vacua. A complex field with a spontaneously broken U(1) symmetry is embedded in $M_2times S_1$. We numerically construct different winding number vacua, the vortices interpolating betwee
n them, and simulate the collisions of these vortices. We show that classical transitions are generic at large boosts, independent of whether or not vortices miss each other in the compact $S_1$.
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.
These lectures provide a pedagogical, introductory review of the so-called Attractor Mechanism (AM) at work in two different 4-dimensional frameworks: extremal black holes in N=2 supergravity and N=1 flux compactifications. In the first case, AM dete
rmines the stabilization of scalars at the black hole event horizon purely in terms of the electric and magnetic charges, whereas in the second context the AM is responsible for the stabilization of the universal axion-dilaton and of the (complex structure) moduli purely in terms of the RR and NSNS fluxes. Two equivalent approaches to AM, namely the so-called ``criticality conditions and ``New Attractor ones, are analyzed in detail in both frameworks, whose analogies and differences are discussed. Also a stringy analysis of both frameworks (relying on Hodge-decomposition techniques) is performed, respectively considering Type IIB compactified on $CY_{3}$ and its orientifolded version, associated with $frac{CY_{3}times T^{2}}{mathbb{Z}_{2}}$. Finally, recent results on the U-duality orbits and moduli spaces of non-BPS extremal black hole attractors in $3leqslant Nleqslant 8$, d=4 supergravities are reported.
