title = "Metastable quivers in string compactifications",
abstract = "We propose a scenario for dynamical supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications based on geometric engineering of quiver gauge theories. In particular we show that the runaway behavior of fractional branes at del Pezzo singularities can be stabilized by a flux superpotential in compact models. Our construction relies on homological mirror symmetry for orientifolds.",

note = "Funding Information: We owe special thanks to Shamit Kachru for a careful reading of the manuscript and many valuable suggestions and comments and to Robert Karp for very helpful discussions on del Pezzo fractional branes, periods and monodromy. We would also like to thank Mike Douglas, Chris Herzog, Tony Pantev, David Shih and especially Scott Thomas for very stimulating discussions.
