Stringy Corrections from (Almost) Classical Supergravity

Andrew Frey

University of Winnipeg

We discuss how and in which circumstances flux and warping correct the Kähler metric on moduli space, using the dimensional reduction of form fields in flux compactifications as a case study. In the large volume limit, these corrections scale like α'2 , lower order than expected in bulk supergravity.
