The type IIA flux potential, 4-forms and Freed-Witten anomalies

Abstract We compute the full classical 4d scalar potential of type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds in the presence of fluxes and D6-branes. We show that it can be written as a bilinear form V = Z AB ρ A ρ B , where the ρ A are in one-to-one correspondence with the 4-form fluxes of the 4d effective theor...
