Description
We discuss general properties of moduli stabilization in KKLT scenarios in type IIB orientifold compactifications X6. In particular, we find conditions for the Kahler potential to allow a KKLT scenario for a manifold X6 without complex structure moduli, i.e. h(2,1)(-)(X6)=0. This way, a whole class of type IIB orientifolds with h(2,1)(-)(X6)=0 is ruled out. This excludes in particular all ZN- and ZNxZM-orientifolds X6 with h(2,1)(X6)=0 for a KKLT scenario. This concerns Z3, Z7, Z3xZ3, Z4xZ4, Z6xZ6 and Z2xZ6'-both at the orbifold point and away from it. Furthermore, we propose a mechanism to stabilize the Kahler moduli associated to the odd cohomology H-(1,1)(X6). In the second part of this work we discuss the moduli stabilization of resolved type IIB ZN- or ZNxZM-orbifold/orientifold compactifications. As examples for the resolved Z6 and Z2xZ4 orbifolds we fix all moduli through a combination of fluxes and racetrack superpotential
