Abstract: This note is intended to serve as a reference for conventions used in the literature on string compactifications, and how to move between them, collected in a single and easy-to-find place, using type IIB as an illustrative example. It will be useful to beginners in the field and busy experts, e.g. string constructions proposed to address the moduli stabilization problem are generically in regions of parameter space at the boundaries of control, so that consistent use of [Formula: see text]’s and frame conventions can be pivotal when computing their potentially dangerous corrections.
