An H-flux balances the exponentially small condensate on shell and fixes the complex structure moduli. At quantum level this balancing is, however, obstructed by the quantization of the H-flux. We show that the warped flux compactification background in heterotic M-theory can solve this problem through a warp-factor suppression of the integer flux relative to the condensate. We discuss the suppression mechanism both in the M-theory and the 4-dimensional effective theory and provide a derivation of the condensate's superpotential which is free of delta-function squared ambiguities.12 pages, PRL versionHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
