Abstract

We report on a new class of flux vacua generically present in Calabi-Yau compactifications of type-IIB string theory. At these vacua, the mass spectrum of the complete axiodilaton/complex structure sector is given, to leading order in a' and g(s), by a simple analytic formula independent of the choice of Calabi-Yau.

We provide a method to find these vacua and construct an ensemble of 17,054 solutions for the Calabi-Yau hypersurface WP[1,1,1,6,9]4, where the masses of the axiodilaton and the 272 complex structure fields can be explicitly computed.
