Generalized manifolds

Orientifold

In theoretical physics orientifold is a generalization of the notion of orbifold, proposed by Augusto Sagnotti in 1987. The novelty is that in the case of string theory the non-trivial element(s) of the orbifold group includes the reversal of the orientation of the string. Orientifolding therefore produces unoriented strings—strings that carry no "arrow" and whose two opposite orientations are equivalent. Type I string theory is the simplest example of such a theory and can be obtained by orientifolding type IIB string theory. In mathematical terms, given a smooth manifold , two discrete, freely acting, groups and and the worldsheet parity operator (such that ) an orientifold is expressed as the quotient space . If is empty, then the quotient space is an orbifold. If is not empty, then it is an orientifold. (Wikipedia).

Liam McAllister - Flux Vacua and the Cosmological Constant

We construct vacua of string theory in which all moduli are stabilized, and the magnitude of the cosmological constant is exponentially small. The vacua are supersymmetric AdS solutions in flux compactifications of type IIB string theory on orientifolds of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces. The vac
