Remarks on Branes, Fluxes, and Soft SUSY Breaking
Abstract
We review recent work identifying soft SUSY-breaking terms in local type II string models with branes and magnetic fluxes. We then make a new observation about the space of D-brane vacua in Calabi-Yau backgrounds, and identify vevs for nonperturbative charged hypermultiplets in Calabi-Yau backgrounds with N = 2 Fayet-Iliopoulos terms.
