Abstract We study M and F theory compactifications on Calabi–Yau four-folds in the presence of non-trivial background flux. The geometry is warped and belongs to the class of p -brane metrics. We solve for the explicit warp factor in the orbifold limit of these compactifications, compare our results to some of the more familiar recently studied warped scenarios, and discuss the effects on the low-energy theory. As the warp factor is generated solely by backreaction, we may use topological arguments to determine the massless spectrum. We perform the computation for the case where the four-fold equals K3×K3 .

- Flux-induced SUSY-breaking soft terms on D7–D3 brane systems (2004, background): “In the last few years it has been realized that a general compactification allows for an additional ingredient, not considered previously, namely field strength fluxes for the internal components of p-form supergravity fields [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9].”
- Four-dimensional string compactifications with D-branes, orientifolds and fluxes (2006, unknown): “These fluxes induce the interesting effects and modify the metric via the Einstein equations in a way that can be interpreted as a scalar potential for the moduli fields in the effective four-dimensional theory [43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50].”
- M-theory compactified on Calabi–Yau fourfolds with background flux☆ (2001, background): “(13) implies ∆ ∼ O(l6 11/l(6) Y ) so that in the limit l11/lY → 0 the metric (12) becomes the unwarped product metric and F4 vanishes [8].”
- New supersymmetric string compactifications (2002, background): “In addition, the fluxes and branes backreact on the bulk geometry, yielding warped compactifications [16,5,17].”
