MAGNETIZED (SHIFT-)ORIENTIFOLDS

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study four dimensional Z2imesZ2 (shift)-orientifolds in presence of internal magnetic fields and NS-NS B-field backgrounds, describing in some detail one explicit example with N=1 supersymmetry. These models are related by T-duality to orientifolds with D-branes intersecting at angles and exhibit, due to the background fields, a rank reduction of the gauge group and multiple matter families. Moreover, the low-energy spectra are chiral and anomaly free if D5-branes are present along the magnetized directions.
