Type IIB orientifolds with NS-NS antisymmetric tensor backgrounds

Type IIB orientifolds with NS-NS antisymmetric tensor backgrounds

We consider six dimensional N=1 space-time supersymmetric Type IIB orientifolds with non-zero untwisted NS-NS sector B-field. The B-field is quantized due to the requirement that the Type IIB spectrum be left-right symmetric. The presence of the B-field results in rank reduction of both 99 and 55 open string sector gauge …
