Orientifolds with three-form flux provide some of the simplest string examples of warped compactification. In this paper we show that some models of this type have the unusual feature of $D=4,$ $\mathcal{N}=3$ spacetime supersymmetry. We discuss their construction and low energy physics. Although the local form of the moduli space is fully determined by supersymmetry, to find its global form requires a careful study of the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield spectrum.

De Sitter vacua in string theory (2003, background): “Cosmology of the simplest flux compactifications, on the T (6)/Z2 orientifold [20, 21, 22] (whose gauged supergravity description is worked out in [23]), was recently investigated in [24].”

Flux Compactifications on Calabi-Yau Threefolds (2003, background): “On an orientifold, due to possible “half cycles” [7], sometimes the fluxes f and h need to be even integer (though often in cases where the subtlety arises, the odd fluxes can be rendered consistent by turning on fractional fluxes at orientifold planes [7]).”

Generalized flux vacua (2006, unknown): “This restriction is motivated by the observation that even numbers of flux quanta on an orientifolded manifold lift to integer quanta on the original manifold, while odd numbers of flux quanta require a more sophisticated construction incorporating exotic orientifold planes [26].”
