We analyse type IIA Calabi-Yau orientifolds with backgroud fluxes, taking into account the effect of perturbative $\alpha'$-corrections. In particular, we consider the $\alpha'$-corrections that modify the metrics in the K\"ahler sector of the compactification. As it has been argued in the literature, including such $\alpha'$-corrections allows to construct the mirror duals of type IIB Calabi-Yau flux compactifications, in which the effect of flux backreaction is under control. We compute the $\alpha'$-corrected scalar potential generated by the presence of RR and NS fluxes, and reformulate it as a bilinear of the flux-axion polynomials invariant under the discrete shift symmetries of the compactification. The use of such invariants allows to express in a compact and simple manner the conditions for Minkowski and AdS flux vacua, and to extract the effect of $\alpha'$-corrections on them.

    At large complex structure in F-theory, the F-term potential simplifies to V = Z^{AB} ρ_A ρ_B, yielding two families of flux vacua with all complex structure moduli fixed, one with bounded saxion vevs and one with unb...

    Axionic string tensions define vector fields on moduli space that split into mutually orthogonal subsets with one decoupling from gravity, and their Laplacian relates to divergent moduli space curvature.
