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

“…In this regard, we present a set of generic master formulae which not only formulate the scalar potential in a compact way but also enable one to read-off the various scalar potential pieces by simply knowing a set of topological data of the compactifying Calabi Yau and its mirror threefold. We demonstrate the applicability of our master formulae by reading-off the scalar potentials for five explicit models, and using a set of axionic flux combinations we show that 76276 terms arising from the flux superpotential in a 𝕋6 /(ℤ2 × ℤ2)-based model can be equivalently expressed by using 2816 terms, while 11212 terms arising from the flux superpotential in a Quintic-based model can be equivalently expressed by 668 terms! …”
