Abstract
We consider warped compactifications of M-theory to three-dimensional Minko wski space on compact eight-manifolds. Taking all the leading quantum gravi ty corrections of eleven-dimensional supergravity into account we obtain th e solution to the equations of motion and Bianchi identities. Generically t hese vacua are not supersymmetric and yet have a vanishing three-dimensiona l cosmological constant.
