Reading-off the non-geometric scalar potentials with U-dual fluxes by Sayan Biswas, George K. Leontaris, Pramod Shukla

“…Abstract In the context of four-dimensional N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 type IIB superstring compactifications, the U-dual completion of the holomorphic flux superpotential leads to four S-dual pairs of fluxes, namely (F, H), (Q, P), (P′, Q′) and (H′, F′). It has been observed that the scalar potentials induced by such generalized superpotentials typically have an enormous amount of terms, making it hard to study any phenomenological aspects such as moduli stabilization. …”
