Heterotic M–theory in Five Dimensions
We derive the five–dimensional effective action of strongly coupled heterotic string theory for the complete (1, 1) sector of the theory by performing a reduction, on a Calabi–Yau three–fold, of M–theory on S1/Z2. A crucial ingredient for a consistent truncation is a non–zero mode of the antisymmetric tensor field strength which arises due to magnetic sources on the orbifold planes. The correct...
متن کاملCosmology and Heterotic M–Theory in Five–Dimensions
In these lectures, we present cosmological vacuum solutions of Hořava-Witten theory and discuss their physical properties. We begin by deriving the five–dimensional effective action of strongly coupled heterotic string theory by performing a reduction, on a Calabi–Yau three–fold, of M–theory on S/Z2. The effective theory is shown to be a gauged version of five–dimensional N = 1 supergravity cou...
متن کاملFive-Brane Superpotentials in Heterotic M-theory
The open supermembrane contribution to the non-perturbative superpotential of bulk space five-branes in heterotic M -theory is presented. We explicitly compute the superpotential for the modulus associated with the separation of a bulk five-brane from an end-of-the-world three-brane. The gauge and κ-invariant boundary strings of such open supermembranes are given and the role of the holomorphic...
متن کاملHeterotic M – Theory Vacua with Five – Branes ∗
We construct vacua of heterotic M–theory with general gauge bundles and five–branes. Some aspects of the resulting low–energy effective theories are discussed. M–theory on the orbifold S/Z2 is believed to describe the strong coupling limit of the E8 × E8 heterotic string [1] and, therefore, constitutes a particularly interesting starting point for M–theory particle phenomenology. At low energy,...
متن کاملNon–Standard Embedding and Five–Branes in Heterotic M–Theory
We construct vacua of M–theory on S1/Z2 associated with Calabi–Yau three-folds. These vacua are appropriate for compactification to N = 1 supersymmetry theories in both four and five dimensions. We allow for general E8 × E8 gauge bundles and for the presence of five-branes. The five-branes span the four-dimensional uncompactified space and are wrapped on holomorphic curves in the Calabi–Yau spa...
