D-instantons, Strings and M-theory
Abstract The R terms in the effective action for M-theory compactified on a two-torus are motivated by combining one-loop results in type II superstring theories with the Sl(2,Z) duality symmetry. The conjectured expression reproduces precisely the tree-level and oneloop R terms in the effective action of the type II string theories compactified on a circle, together with the expected infinite ...
متن کاملInstantons, Assisted Inflation and Heterotic M-theory
We first investigate the attractor solution associated with Assisted Inflation in Heterotic M-Theory to see if it is stable. By perturbing the solutions we find a solitary stable fixed point with the general path through phase space dependent upon the Calabi-Yau data and the number of five-branes. We then go on to examine the effect of including non-perturbative corrections to the inflaton pote...
متن کاملComments on D - Instantons in c < 1 Strings
We suggest that the boundary cosmological constant ζ in c < 1 unitary string theory be regarded as the one-dimensional complex coordinate of the target space on which the boundaries of world-sheets can live. From this viewpoint we point out that soliton-like solutions appearing in string equations can be interpreted as analogues of D-instantons. It turns out that our operator formalism develope...
متن کاملM-Theory and Topological Strings–II
It is shown how the topological string amplitudes encode the BPS structure of wrapped M2 branes in M-theory compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds. This in turn is related to a twisted supersymmetric index in 5 dimensions which receives contribution only from BPS states. The spin dependence of BPS states in 5 dimensions is captured by the string coupling constant dependence of topological st...
متن کاملM-Theory and Topological Strings–I
The RF 2g−2 terms of Type IIA strings on Calabi-Yau 3-folds, which are given by the corresponding topological string amplitudes (a worldsheet instanton sum for all genera), are shown to have a simple M-theory interpretation. In particular, a Schwinger one-loop computation in M-theory with wrapped M2 branes and Kaluza-Klein modes going around the loop reproduces the all genus string contribution...
