In this JC I will talk about moduli stabilization in type IIB SUGRA.
I'll motivate and discuss the seminal work of Giddings, Kachru and Polchinski (GKP,2001) http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0105097 which is pretty famous and has over 1500 citations! In this work the team stabilize the complex structure moduli and axiodilaton.
