Résumé

We recently proposed a class of type IIB vacua that yield, at low energies, four--dimensional Minkowski spaces with broken supersymmetry and a constant string coupling. They are compactifications with an internal five-torus bearing a five--form flux $\Phi$ and warp factors depending on a single coordinate. The breaking of supersymmetry occurs when the internal space includes a finite interval. A probe-brane analysis revealed a gravitational repulsion and a charge attraction of equal magnitude from the left end of the interval, and a singularity at the other end. Here we complete the analysis revealing the presence, at one end, of an effective $O3$ of negative tension and positive five--form charge. We also determine the values of these quantities, and show that $T = -\, Q = \Phi$, and characterize the singularity present at the other end of the interval, which hosts an opposite charge. Finally, we discuss various forms of the gravity action in the presence of a boundary and identify a self--adjoint form for its fluctuations.
