Description

We study structures of solutions for SUSY Minkowski F-term equations on two toroidal orientifolds with h2,1=1. Following our previous study (2011.09154), with fixed upper bounds of a flux D3-brane charge Nflux, we obtain a whole Landscape and a distribution of degeneracies of physically-distinct solutions for each case. In contrast to our previous study, we consider a non-factorizable toroidal orientifold and its Landscape on which SL(2,ℤ) is violated into a certain congruence subgroup, as it had been known in past studies. We find that it is not the entire duality group that a complex-structure modulus U enjoys but its outer semi-direct product with a "scaling" outer automorphism group. The fundamental region is enlarged to include the |U|<1 region. In addition, we find that high degeneracy is observed at an elliptic point, not of SL(2,Z) but of the outer automorphism group. Furthermore, ℤ2-enhanced symmetry is realized on the elliptic point. The outer automorphism group is exceptional in the sense that it is consistent with a symplectic basis transformation of background three-cycles, as opposed to the outer automorphism group of SL(2,ℤ). We also compare this result with Landscape of another factorizable toroidal orientifold. This work is based on arXiv:2311.12425 [hep-th].
